Three Years Gone By – Speed Painting

I got a notification saying it is three years ago today that I posted my speed painting exercise from class in which we had to paint grayscale mountains in 15 minutes. When looking at the images I painted I felt that I can definitely do better now, and was curious to test my improvements over the past three years.

It is definitely not as easy without the help I had then though, but time to test my wings and see if I […]

Dagger Update
