I was inspired after I received a lovely commission piece from a wonderful person.

I was watching them live stream my piece and studying how they go about making their art. She paints all on one layer, all shadows, highlights and all. Impressive really.

I decided to try my hand at it, but in my own way.

Each color was at first on its own layer and then combined into one. Shadows and highlights on their respective layers. Then just did small touch ups to finalize everything.
