Pushing contrast in my pieces more and adding more detail as well.
Started with grayscale underpainting and then applied gradient map overlays to create the color, which was really fun to play with! This is the first time I used this method to apply color and working in black/white really helped me understand my contrast and balance. At first it seemed complicated and kinda scary, but I'm really glad I pushed through and just learned it. x]

Thanks for looking!
