Auburn, Ivory, Emerald

HELLO IT'S BEEN A WHILE //twitch.

New pc, new art skillz. Today I semi-successfully did what I set out to learn a year ago: to leave the lineart+color format and paint over lineart with more texturized brushes. I'm so happy! This felt super satisfying to do :> What really motivated me to try it again was this gif on ~fayrenpickpocket's tumblr. She is god of digital painting.

Inspired by the song "Jolene" by Dolly Parton (here: [link] ), about this SOUTHERN BEAUTY (kek) who shouldn't be a bitch. I loved drawing off of the song because it made for some features and colors I don't normally use.

There are some wips of this on my sketch tumblr: [link]

Your beauty is beyond compare,
With flaming locks of auburn hair,
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.
Your smile is like a breath of spring,
Your voice is soft like summer rain,
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene.
