I've been on an art block actually for the last week, so I'm actually really surprised I was able to start this yesterday, after my power went out, and just now finish it. I have NO idea where the energy to start and finish this thing came from, but it just kind of happened like auto-pilot. Anyways, this piece I learned that the lasso tool and levels swatch are life savers for when I need shapes and colours quick. I'm still not comfortable with using photo textures, but I'm okay with these ones.
