I also added hatching on the edges of the frame, as well as for lighting and shading on smoother surfaces for texture. I forgot the stripes on the cuffs earlier, so I added them before using chromatic aberration on surfaces that needed sharpness. : Blur effect, Watermark, & Contrast/Brightness Editing (Final Product) Brushes Used: Dense Watercolor, blur, flat marker, textured watercolor, smooth & opaque watercolor, hatching brushes, thin gouache
