Nice one Caesar!
It's interesting when one is copying what is seen on the surface as opposed to building up the picture as one would do for an original. The procedure is quite different. Still, there's a lot to be learned from doing it that way.
But I am thinking there is nothing wrong. In fact I think it may push a whole generation of artists on the computer into a different realm and different techniques. I've seen many painted this way on YouTube demos where it looks as if the artist has to do no working up to a finish, but rather they just paint what is seen. Of course there are other demos where they do build up as well. But in the olden days of long ago, you would rarely construct a painting of this kind this way unless you had done it this way hundreds of times and knew what you had to do and what was unnecessary.
The interesting thing to me is that you in the recent past have been blending cartooning and painting and thus coming up with a unique style of your own, and that's always the best -- to make it a synthesis of the various methods you've come across in your personal journey.
Anyway, I like this Caesar, for what you're doing with it in your own way. That's bringing creativity to what could have been a mere mechanical exercise. Good man.
