That has to be the most wonderful thing I have ever seen. I almost thought it was an actual photo, almost blew my mind. That is definitely one of the greatest pieces of art I have ever seen. Hats off to you. Most excellent :man_bowing:

@Artist78 I’m happy to help you with any questions you may have. I’m not as proficient in Krita as some of the other artists in this group, but I’m willing to help all I can. :slight_smile:

My first submission: “Nailed It”

Used some ink brushes for the nail and its shadows, blurred the shadows and set the layer opacity of the shadows down a bit. For the background (wood and wall) I used some RGBA brushes and a slight blur filter.

Edit: The shadow was too fat. Hope it looks better after the diet.

My second submission is called “Tread Plate”:

Used a pencil (brush) for the treads, a gradient fill layer as a base, a pattern fill layer (overlay) and a colour fill layer (low opacity) for the steel look.

Thanks @Elixiah.
In my mind I am sitting under a tree on a mild day, reading a book and occasionally glancing over at the rusting car thinking “I should do something about that”. Then going “Nah”, and returning to my book.
