I was 'secretly' taking a class through the summer to refresh my polishing skills on digital painting. I sketch quite a bit, but was a little out-of-practice and needed a review of the basics anyway! I found my 'flow' when I did these thumbs:
I chose the ocean one, cause I love the ocean.

The Angel Michael.

At least, how I kind of imagined him. Kind of a "Heavenly Badass".
