Lasso Study (Patreon)

I drew a horse and a cowboy, and then decided to try out a background using just the.... lasso.... tool. And a smudge brush. 

Next day commentary edit: coming back to look at this I think I'm especially pleased that I didn't resort to any post-process colour tweaking to make it more harmonious or master glow layers to wash it out. The colours came straight as I picked 'em and that doesn't often end well for me!
