I gotta say I'm a bit saddened by the response, I guess I should take people thinking it's a filter as a compliment? I don't know, it kinda sucks to be perceived as a fraud.

I did this in Photoshop, reduced the image to 20% opacity and drew on it the rough representation, I then outlined everything with a hard brush, shaded the outline's insides in black and white. It's easier than you'd expect when you have a picture to base it off of! Don't knock it till you try it!

Then after that I did what artists with a short amount of time do and did a new layer, applied "color" mode on that layer, all I had to do was eyedrop the colors on the picture and paint it on the black and white shading, yes, it's actually that simple.

I struggle with drawing hands, pretty clear I think, I tried everything I could but I couldn't get those pillow patterns to look like I wanted so I shat on them, also that fur thing to the left of Adam was me just spamming a smooth brush with a few strokes of a hard brush, I also really like oil paintings, so I wanted to give the illusion of that by smudging the painting a bit, hence the heavy blur some places, so I can also focus your attention on Adam's face. But who cares, I'm a fraud right?

I removed the picture from my twitter because I don't want Adam to think it's a filter either and end up hating me, and I'll delete this post soon too.

P.S. There is no watermark either, because I didn't want to ruin the drawing, as if that helped lmao
