Description

So remember my post a few days ago about how I quit my other painting because I "leveled up" with art?  Yeah . . . this is the piece that caused me to quit that other painting.  It was rendered in Photoshop with no outlines.  All done in back and white with layers of color on top as a glaze.  I'm sooooooo happy with how it turned out.  I have been trying to figure out for years how to paint with no outlines and I have never been able to do it until now.  Every tutorial I came across would be all "Okay, here's a sketch in this thumbnail.  Now now I'm gonna show you in THIS thumbnail how to render but skip a million steps and OH LOOK IT'S PERFECT!" and I was like "Whuu?  You lost me, jerkface!!!"  

Anyhoo, I still have a lot of kinks to work out with this newish style.  I did my best to incorporate the watercolor elements to it and keep the anatomy consistent with my other works.  Right now the marriage between the two styles is not quite equal enough for my liking.  I'm going to be experimenting going forward.

Hopefully this isn't a once in a million thing for me.  I want to be able to improve on this.  Plus, I'm tempted to make a tutorial explaining all of the different steps.
