Re: Bridge

Lovely, Alan. You do have a way with brushes. :-)

I used my Line Art tute for a color sketch then a little Flaming Pear Mr. Contrast. Painted a merged copy of that result with the smudge tool, added texture.

Re: Bridge

Great find Joe

A sketch, history brush, a good dose of saturation, and a bit of buzz
