Finally got my hand down to do this lol. Need to improve my understanding of material properties and how to render them. I should learn how to render with less stroke and yet maintain the level of details tho. Oh well just need to do more of this.
Anyway, just a boring stuff from me but thank you very much for viewing.

Photoshop, all painting, no photo texture.

I wonder, how do you approach this? Do you like have this flat circle on the board and you go like "Ok, now I'll do a glass ball" and then paint it? Or do you use photo's of glass-objects and then try to fit it into a spherical shape? Thanks for the answer in advance and the awesome artwork!

Reference photos of original glass ball on the side for me to study how it works in real life, and then paint it on a flat circle ;)

are you using a special brush to get the rust on the iron?

Yeap there is a custom texture brush as a base, and then default brush for all the detailing :)

you probably don't have any WIPs of this? I would be happy to see your progress on this one (because I'm planning on texture challenge myself)

Hey thanks alot. Yeap they're hand painted, if you see carefully it's actually kinda rough lol. Anyway if you dont mind me asking, where lead you to this artwork? Because I suddenly receive thousands of view today on this particular one.

A really popular piece, 100 texture studies or something, made it to the front page of the dA page. At the bottom of their description, the artist linked a thumbnail of this piece on there, recommending us to go and look at other artists's work. That's why you've gotten so many views recently. XD
