    I'm honestly really surprised this video doesn't have more attention. I watched several videos before this one and this is what I was looking for. Not only were you informative and concise, you gave excellent examples as well as include practical tips (such as blending the color you want with the background, or using the overlay feature to give the overall picture a specific color tone). Thank you so so much for this super helpful video!!

    Wonderful tutorial! 😊 Seems perfect for beginners and a good review for those of us who have been making art for a while. I think I will try the Pinterest trick to narrow down my current color palette preferences. Great tip! [Also, your art is lovely 😍]
