I found this amazing art program called Krita, in which this piece was drawn. It’s absolutely wonderful, and even though it did crash once and nearly gave me a heart attack, it had saved the picture automatically at some point so very little progress was lost. It works on Windows, iOS and Linux (I have that) and it has a lot of really beautiful brushes. I didn’t adjust the opacity levels until I did the last touch with the halo around her.
