Secrets (Patreon)

I'm getting better at compositing. It's a weird experience, though, because I'm so used to making art with my hands. I kept wanting to just reach out and scrunch something, or smooth a line with my finger, or scratch it with a knife. I miss the messiness and touch of the random. The "scratches" in the texture are too uniform, not random enough.

Of course, when I'm making something by hand I find myself wishing I had all the advantages of photoshop. *shrug emoji*

I'm sure the better I get to know photoshop, the closer I'll get to what I want. Still, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.
