Speedpainting study: Edgar Degas (The Star - 1878)

This Edgar Degas artwork is very representative of his work, I love the movement he transmits and in general most of his works are very dynamic and he loved to paint dancers in movement mainly.
.
Imitating the expression of his brush strokes and strokes in a digital medium is not easy, and although the exercise had to be an hour, I had an hour and a half working to feel satisfied with the final result.
.
In several parts of the process, I flip the image horizontally to better visualize the errors in the composition, this is a tip by Leonardo Da Vinci, he always used a mirror to see if he was wrong in the proportions or general composition of his drawings and paintings , something that many artists recommend.
