Taking a sunbath

Hi there!

This is my first time using Krita, a free drawing tool for tablet users. I tried a more realistic approach, staying rather close to the reference picture (Say HELLO to The Summer by ShinaKhan). The main challenge was the grainy surface of the rock, and the shining surface of the wet sea star, as well as the lighting in general. I think it worked out pretty well, and Krita is already a great program  , even though the current version has some small but annoying flaws (blending tools not working for me, needs better PC than I have).

I drew everything freehand from scratch, mostly using basic brushes shipped with Krita plus one textured brush for the dark part of the rocks. I will also upload an animation that shows the work in progress for those interested in it.
