<center>**Hello Steemit!**</center>

Today I would like to present to you an old artwork of mine that I still have no time to finish.At the moment i'm working on the *Digitalization* of "[Behind the Mask](https://steemit.com/art/@svdsdragunov/behind-the-mask)" And i wanted to show you some of my old works that almost no one have seen yet.
For this one, i tried to not use as many layers as usual. Cause back then, when I started it I just did not have the computing power to get up to 200 layers as now. But yet it was fun.

The closest that you can get to traditional painting in the digital media is to work on just one layer and to not use *Ctrl+Z*. I Challenged my self to do that. And it was... strange at first. Can't remember how many times i reached to press these keys. My poor laptop handled my workflow like a man... Crashed not even once. I still use that old machine. And it serves me well. I think that if you take care of your devices they will care for you too. The same as with relationships I guess. 

Then my brother helped me to get a bigger screen, so I could work better and faster. I know that I was torturing my machine. But it was worth it. I've got so hyped when I loaded that file in photoshop and it appeared on the screen. It was like you see with new eyes or something similar to that. And I do not exaggerate. I was literally jumping around the desk like little kid. 
This was the first time I used complex composition after my teacher showed me the [Design cinema](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X0Npd5REQw&list=PL3YFIrGTS2I4WORPUdeKnlb3_PtqCTnj2) youtube channel. These dudes explain everything, from color balances to perspective and composition. Sometimes i rewatch some of their videos and realize that I missed so much stuff every time. It's just epic!
