The Swamp Queen

This is my first (more or less) speed painting / concept art thingie I deem worthy of actually showing to someone. It took somewhere between 4/5h. I'm not sure if that's really speed painting considering it's a pretty basic painting, but it is speed for me lol ;D

So yeah, I'm experimenting with using different brushes other than hard round / soft round ^^

The silly thing is I'm rly learning how to draw and paint lately, while I probably already know about almost all the tools in photoshop, so I can easily setup weird brushes with textures and dual brush funkiness. But I still need to learn basic essential stuff like color selection, value, lighting, creating clear shapes, composition, etc etc etc ... >.>
