Night driver
I have been fascinated by the light and shadow effects on a driver’s face at night from the passenger side view.
The stroke textures can influence the perception of the face.

Cafe reader
I pencil sketched and oil painted this composition based on two reference photos I took two days earlier. (I have yet to try physical oil paint.)
The subject came into the cafe, pretended to look at the menu on the wall, and sat down at a table to read a book.

Taking comments
I guess the key challenge for taking comments/suggestions from others is being rationally open and yet emotionally close, to make positive improvements without negative feelings.
Procreate
I installed and drew with Procreate last night.
In the background story, the founder said about their process of setting up Savage Interactive and developing Procreate:
“I grew up quite poor, so for me risking everything was a very natural thing. I thought, well, if it doesn’t pay off, I’ve been here before and I’ll be fine.”
(You might need to read that story from the App store as the web version might not be complete for some reason.)
