Hello, thank you for your comment x I used to make seamless patterns for Sims 3, I used a couple of them as overlays to help give the appearance of beading and fabric. I will try to blend in the texture effects I make better so it flows. Also I saw a tutorial on using lasso etc to mark areas for shading and adjust the light / contrast etc, I expect I wasn't great with blending that down. Still relearning a lot after a long break from portrait painting so these pointers are useful :)

Thank you xx

Thank you ! I have been watching tutorials from Istebrak and Sycra on Youtube, they've helped me a lot in general

Thank you very much :)
