Using mdfm28’s '[Cheap Ballpoint pen Brush](https://krita-artists.org/t/cheap-ballpoint-pen-brush)’es, I did a hatched ‘paintover’ of a screenshot. This is Alex Horne and Greg Davies from the tv show Taskmaster. It took me about five hours today, but I’m still pretty new to krita.

The lighting was what really drew (heh) me to the scene! That, and Alex (on the right) had such a difficult expression to capture! 😂

(Thanks for the welcome, @Solution-Beast !)

Nice work. I was just wondering why the Australian show seemed to sit unnaturally with the comedians doing it and wondered if it was a version of a show that originated elsewhere. I’m guessing now England?

Yep! The UK one is on series 18 at the moment, but I really do enjoy the AU and NZ ones too, for different reasons.

Alex (right) created the show and format, and there’s books, boardgames, a VR game, and a Live Experience too! (And lots more international versions).

Do not look up the US one. Just don’t.
