These look fantastic! Thanks for bringing them together – what a great collection
You are amazing artist and I really appreciate your time to share your wonderful skills and knowledge.... Bless !!!
what kind of brush you used for the model's hair?? Thank you.
That's the thing about free stock images. 1/2 end up becoming dead links.
The link that goes to the "tree's" stock takes you to the main profile page of elenaDudina's deviantart account and I can't find the specific file you used in this tutorial. Could you possibly have a look and provide an up to date link. I'd really like to try this tutorial but I can't until I have all the stock or find an appropriate alternative :3
