Cropped preview:

I rather fancy some of the Noldor with features of Indigenous Americans. While I was in New Mexico I got to know some gorgeous people (inside and out) who have inspired my Tesuque Pueblo Celebrimbor.

Thank you, this is extremely useful and helpful! ♡ I don't think I'm there yet, I feel like I'm still a beginner at digital painting in a way (I normally opt for drawings because they're a whole lot easier for me, so I've only done maybe 10-20 paintings in the last few years), but getting tips for the future from someone who is as good as you is an honor! :) ♡

You're so welcome! Oh, another thing I'm not shy with is tracing and masking selections from source photographs, which is so much easier with digital than physical paint! And have things on different layers so I can easily change it without having to repaint if I don't like what's there. Layers really give me the confidence to just try things without the worry of messing it up completely. Enjoy your paint journey!

Thank you! ♡♡♡ Yessss, re: different layers, I normally end up with 30 or more of them. :D
