This is my first attempt at “realistic” rendering I’ve ever done (at least for the skin anyways). I was shocked I was able to make it look this good! Obviously I have a hell of a ways to go to get better at rendering, but something interesting happened to me. I feel like some of the psychological barriers, that were stopping me from having more confidence with my art, have finally fallen off after this. I’m going to have to write an article about this. You’ll never know how good you are until you push yourself past your perceived boundaries.
