Grind (Part 2) [Wacom]

Educational Area: Design + Animation

Coloring a background for an anime-style character.
I'm quite new to painting backgrounds, so it took me more to work on it...
Notice that there's a HARDWARE PROBLEM in the video. That's because my computer was shut down, not giving me the opportunity to save... But the video was recovered, so I added it in.
