Do It Scared Do It Stupid Do It Alone Etc Etc But Don’t Do It Hungry. Eat A Snack First

Obsessed by this statue I saw today in Le Havre (France) from the Italian sculptor Fabio Viale. The design isn't painted on... The ink is injected inside the marble like a real tattoo. And if I remember correctly what the guide said, it took the artist three weeks to do just that.

How stunning is this

The way you paint textures is mesmerizing! Its always nice to zoom in and see the little details. Also How do you achieve them?

Hello, thank You! I'm really glad You like them! :D

I use a brush that does a lot of my texture work for me, because depending on how i use it it can deliver both quite smooth strokes and a pretty heavy texture:

Where this one is not enough i hop onto Splatter Tool from Kyle Webster's brush set and paint over Multiply or Overlay layers set on lower opacity:

And these too can give quite a good range to work with:

I don't use photo textures nor any other brushes, so the rest is looking at a lot of references and thinking how to apply that on things I'm painting, and then rendering. Or just slapping them all over till I feel it looks ok lol.

sometimes I can’t fathom the fact that I’m perceived as something good in other peoples lives. you’re telling me that I’m actually lovable? that people actually love me and care for me? that I’m associated with something positive and people want me to stay in their lives? that there is hope for me? that people think about me and miss me? that there are people who love me unconditionally? wow.
