Learning to Paint

This is also part of my preparation for the Mythology painting. I figured it wouldn't hurt to actually learn how to paint, lol. I started with the technique in this [link] tutorial and then blended everything together. Lol, this was the first time I blended colors "properly" since before I'd always use the smudge tool. This was also my first time painting entirely with a hard brush. It was pretty fun and I feel like I had much more control than I do when I use the airbrush tool (which is what I usually use XD). The only thing I don't like is the reflected light on the right.
