𧑠ππππππβ¨ // for day 3 of folktale week 2023: sea! // gouache on paper
a little study of scales, texture, and light for a larger project I'm working on! also made this one into wrapping paper because I CAN'T be the only one who wants to wrap fish presents for people????
Here is a round-up of all eight of the free digital brush packs that Iβve released so far for Photoshop CC, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate!
You can download them on this page (click)
Type inΒ β0β³ for a free download or tip any amount you so desire!
All my brush packs are totally free (tips optional but always very appreciated!) and can be used freely in any work, including commercial work that you profit off of, with no license or credit required. My goal with these brush packs is to make digital painting feel more achievable and accessible - especially painting environments, something I now LOVE but that used to intimidate me, & felt much more approachable with the right tools! Many of the packs also come with tutorial video content. I hope you enjoy!
The crowds of visitors who invaded monuments and museums with enthusiasm and passion demonstrate the enormous and transversal attraction that cultural assets are capable of exerting.
Making culture open and participatory, giving people the freedom to use it so that this creates an experience. Not a simple passage to say "I've been there", but something deeper, which puts you in contact on a cognitive and even more emotional level with what you are going through.
Last night there were those who flocked to museums, without necessarily having a background in art studies. It does not matter. Someone turns up their noses but I say it doesn't matter. Exchanging impressions among strangers in front of a sinopia or a work by Giovanni Pisano is sharing, it is love for beauty, it is creating an experience.
Last night there were those who entered the cathedral, those who preferred the concert, those who went to the museums and those who simply stayed to play on the lawns in front of the monuments. It was a perfectly successful collective ritual because it was free. Everyone was put in a position to react to art and beauty as they felt.
This is my idea of culture, art and anthropology.

Utterly blown away by the kind words and responses to the previous Harrow piece everyone! β€οΈ
Hereβs the matching Gideon Nav, in the same Alphonse Mucha x The Locked Tomb series! (I know, armour isnβt strictly canon, but itβs badass, so yeah. No apologies) Enjoy!
PS: Both this and Harrow will be available in 11β x 17β print form at Otafest this upcoming weekend! (Iβll be at the charity Sketch Drive all three days)! If youβre planning on coming out to the Con, stop by and say hi! :)
