Trying out new textures

[NessIllustration]

In the project I'm currently working on, I got an opportunity to try out a more textured look than what I usually do and I'm excited to experiment! Here is the look I submitted as my proposition for final rendering:

Does this still look enough like my style? Do you enjoy the texture, or prefer my usual crisp and clean look?

Very sweet @NessIllustration Yes, I still very much recognize your style. The texture adds another layer of interest ..how can you go wrong. Lovely.

[NessIllustration]

@djlambson I'm having so much fun with the textures!

[K.Flagg]

Very nice! Yes it does still fit in with the rest of your work perfectly. Love the colors.

@NessIllustration I like Is this effect done with layer commands, brush texture or a combo of both?

[Neha Rawat]

@NessIllustration It's looking lovely! And yes, very much like your style.

[NessIllustration]

@K-Flagg @Neha-Rawat @Braden-Hallett Thank you guys, I'm reassured to hear it still fits in ok with my other work! Braden, these are entirely brush textures I used a mix of Kyle's dry media and gouache brushes. I really liked the Nupastel and the rough chalk!

I think it's beautiful and as others said, it is still distinctly your style.

@NessIllustration I really like the softer edges, I think it will bring more warmth.

@Heather-Boyd It does have a much softer feel! This is a baby book about night time routines, so it seemed a good opportunity to try a different, softer approach!

@NessIllustration Hey Ness. This is great. You can tell it is your work from the way you draw the cat's eye. Love it!!!

[NessIllustration]

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson Just from the eye? Who would have thought haha!

[chrisaakins]

@NessIllustration I'm a sucker for texture. I love it.

I love the both of your style! The crisp one and this soft one. It's very recognizable that it is yours and the soft texture and the colours are going perfectly together

Love the new texture. More organic look :-). Pretty painting too, by the way.

[NessIllustration]

Thank you all, you have made me more confident in this look!
