Check this out, might be useful for you 
After messing around with different blending modes, I've (with help/inspiration) found a way to replicate paint texture. Combined with some brushes im working on this will sell the illusion of depth in ur paintings.
How to set it up:
1. draw as normal on a "normal" layer
2. add a new layer, make it black and put it on overlay on top of your drawing layer
3. make two duplicates of your drawing layer, one above and one below the drawing layer.
4. put the duplicate of you drawing layer thats above your main on "screen" blending mode, lock the opacity (LO) and paint it grey (#808080).
5. for the layer below ur main, have it on normal blending mode, lock the opacity and colour it grey (just like the screen layer).
6. Put your main drawing layer on a clipping group (CG).
7. Grab the "screen" layer and shift its position with the move tool ever so slightly to get the illusion of depth in the painting.
Additionally, you can add a paper texture on the bottom layer to make it look even more real.
Have fun!
Shoutout to @Dee Happy, @lilpaintr and @cklymon for help/inspiration.
That's a wrap, the end of our epic journey through the depths.
Thank you everyone who contributed, when I get home tonight I will do my best to credit everyone involved and a few shoutouts to the people who helped us a lot :) If I somehow forgot to mention you feel free to add yourself in the comments.
Good luck all and thanks for the fun!


How do you guys rest your body (specifically wrist, arm and shoulder) after your long sessions


let me know your ideas 
I mean, I do draw the whole day, even sometimes at night, but the thing is, I get so distracted with Magma that I forget to rest and get barely any sleep because I fall asleep so late.
If you ever draw +12 hrs a day, you'll forcefully get introduced to that lmao @Squish Mellow
