Portrait Break - 9/7/18
Posted by Parker Williams on

I only had the chance to do a two digital portraits this week. Had trouble hitting my groove and had a handful of distractions. It’s a good thing that I’m genuinely having fun painting these, because I’ve got a ton of anime to catch up on, and Dragon Quest XI just came out (which I bought immediately and I’m really enjoying.)
