9 Natural brush work

I use Photoshop as if I was painting with gouache. I like using the pressure on my stylus, barely modifying the opacity, but I vary the flow, to give my brush strokes a more natural feel. Using the Lighten and Soft Light blending modes, I give detail to the metal areas. I’ve tried a version with full horns, but I’m unconvinced and return to the sawed-off Hellboy.
