Bartering with an ancient spirit is precarious at best.

---

My first real attempt at working with the default Clip Paint realistic brushes, and it's been very enjoyable.
I color picked from a real bear photo and then went at it with the brushes which blends colors in a very pleasing way. My previous drawings have not really used the paint engine too well, so I was definitely surprised by how great it felt to draw in.

Anyway, took way too long to finalize this one because I created a multitude of variations for different ways of contrast, colors, and background. I think this one is okay, but I would have preferred it being a completely believable environment rather than the abstract paper world it is now. Maybe for another image.

Thanks for sticking with me.
