Description Trying out an awesome set of new brushes, check 'em out below! This was a lot of fun, just using rough traditional strokes is still very new territory for me.

This was inspired by my excitement for the new season of Supernatural starting soon and an image in my head of Castiel getting his wings back physically with his grace. Not that i'm not excited about human Cas'!

Me likes a lot I love the rough feel of the brushes, and how at the same time they accentuate the lights so much more! Has the feel of a chalk painting, but not quite, something more... I especially love the texture of the brush you used for the brightest strokes - on Cas' wings and forearms, such rippling sparkles of light, and combined with your idea of him getting his mojo back, it can look like his Grace glittering around him briefly And I like how you drew him, he's looking at himself, flexing his wings, and we can't see whether he's happy, which I think is interesting. I'm excited about human Cas, too, by the way Anyway - a lovely experiment and lovely results! I like how B&W enhances the focus on the brush strokes, by the way.

Aaha! You just provided me with the perfect argument for my complete lighting fail in this painting, it is his grace! Awesome!


Thank you very much! I'm glad you like that you can't see his face, that was a big aspect of this for me, I wanted his focus to be on himself, very introspective with emotions unknown to the viewer.

These brushes were a lot of fun, you should have a play!Β

Haha, you're welcome But I meant what I said, I like it I'm not a big fan of rough style, but I liked the lighting

Β 

Well, it worked out stellar then, because I absolutely love the mood you've created by angling his face away! And thanks, I might add those brushes to my already too expansive collection, heh! I'm a sucker for nice brushes, even though 98% of the time I work with 3 of the most basic brushes in your standard PS set.

yep..I felt bad right after I sent it


...then I thought, this lady is too good not to mention, she'll take it on the chin & bounce back with an epic version

Yeah don't worry about it dude, it's good, forcing me to look at my faults is actually very helpful, dragged me out of denial!


I don't think i'll be redoing this since it was a very quick slap n dash play with brushes but I hope my next painting shows better control!

Interesting little experiment you did there. Seems like a chalk-kind of picture for me, especially with that colour palette. Nevertheless, a pretty well done artwork. 8D

Looks great! I'd probably draw a lot of people/characters with wings if I could draw.

Cheers hun, it was a fun experiment! I'm trying all sorts at the moment, i'm not entirely sure what direction i'm going in with my art.
