Sketchbook: Kay x Wil -2D Artist

New to digital paintings, posting my work here for critiques. Let me know your thoughts on lighting, composition, perspective, brushes, etc. I tried Corel but the interface is a pain so I'm using Clip Studio.

This month I'm working on forest landscapes, painting foliage is hard. Anyone know where you can get good foliage brushes for Clip Studio. I bought several brushes off gumroad, but they looked tacky.

I learned to make my own brushes so my leaves are starting to look better.

Previous portraits I worked on, mostly from photographs, a few from imagination.

Nice progress! I'm glad to hear that you're making your own brushes, that's an important step in painting in my opinion. Using a brush pack is fine to get ideas, learn something new, or maybe if you just flat out can't seem to make your own brushes... but crafting and sharpening your own tools really helps you define your processes, and ultimately gives your work unique life. I really like those last leafy tree studies. Keep on plugging away!
