BTS Pic + Breakdown (Patreon)

The first pic is the final product where I took it into CSP and added some layer effects

Its so nice to have a brush that does a spatter effect rather than to individually draw the embers

Also used one of the texture brushed to make the center folds look less blocky and sharp

I added the reference image so you could see the horrible tangent where his nose sits at the edge of his face - I initially tried to draw it like this but it was just so difficult to make it look anyway good - the blurriness of the ref doesn't help matters either but its got such great lighting and colour so it was the first image that came to mind when i was going to do studies today
