I was looking to do a little background practice, and started on a photo study, but I forgot to bring the picture with, after starting out with the initial sketch. So I tried to put a bit of my own spin on it, too.

This was a bit of an experiment with some textured brushes, too. I don't often post practice pieces like this, but I feel especially proud of this one, and think it was a great learning experience.

The photo that this study was based on was taken by Chris Ford, here:
