This is very good work. I could see this in a gallery in New York or San Francisco with a $1,500 price tag on it. It’s that good. ---

This is exceptional @MangooSalade The lighting, your brushwork, color… professional all the way. When I first saw this fellow, I thought of Roger on the TV series Outlander. Fine work. 😍 ---

Thanks! I keep forgetting even as I am working. @Rakurri brush set V2, Rakeglide (hair), smoothchalk, drychalk (jacket). I might post some intermediate stages if that is of interest to people. ---

I wish I knew more about Krita brushes, I’ve tried modifying some, but there are so many options it’s a bit baffling! I’ve use the rakeglide a lot lately. ---

Did you use brushes present in krita?? If so, would it be possible to know what they were? I would like to try them and understand their performance. Thank you. 🙂 ---

This is amazing! 😁🤩 I love the lighting and how much life you add to the colours and paint! Also, it makes me happy to hear that you find my brushes helpful, and interesting to hear in your replies which brushes you use for each part 🤩😊 [Next page](https://krita-artists.org/t/xavier/113816.md?page=2)
