I'm new to this medium and still struggle with a lot of things, especially the colors drying a lot lighter than they go on, but I'm glad I didn't give up after two bad background washes, or after his face on the third attempt started out looking like this (jumpscare warning):
i was Supposed to have a nice relaxing evening of watching tennis & reading but instead deutsche bahn decided to be a pain in the ass which also meant i had to spend time figuring that shit out instead of renewing my tennistv subscription WHICH MEANT i couldnt even put tennis on in the background while i stressed. fucking ugh.
