I've been watching & reading a few tutorials for SAI & art. I wanted to implement them in this. It worked for the most part.
I tried to use a linework layer. You can edit the curves of the lines in this layer type but I was having a hard time doing that. My line work isn't normally how I like it here.
I tried working with the multiply layer effect to get some shading & it looks really cool but I need a lot of work. This is the best I could get it but I still need a lot of practice with it.
The trick with the luminosity layer for the eyes was a neat effect.
Overall I'd say this was a successful application of stuff & I will continue to work on it.
