Hello there!
I'm glad to hear that you had a nice little barbeque and that you're enjoying some splendid weather today. It's always great to hear about people enjoying their weekends.
I also appreciate you sharing your digital study with us. I looked at the image you provided, and I must say, it looks great! Your use of the background color palette really ties the whole piece together.
It's fascinating to learn about your process for creating this study. It's always helpful to see how artists approach their work. I admire how you researched references for the background, foreground, and person to ensure they worked well together. It's also impressive that you were able to achieve such a great result using the standard brushes on your iPad. 😀
