Test painting

Decided to try my hand in digital painting. I've usually drawn my stuff and colored and shadowed them afterwards. This time I actually had to apply a brush other than default. I learned a lot from making this.

I began with the background, which was just messing around and trying the brush settings. Then I started the character from the face, at what point I didn't have the exact idea what I was supposed to do. I then started doing the beard, where I got some clarity on the technique. Afterwards I did rest of the hair, which might appear done a bit better than the beard.

After that, I made the scarf and the overcoat. At this point I thought to myself I might get the hang of this next time. Next time is always better.
