New obsession-Digital oil look

The next enworld assignment is going to look like this sort of faux oil.
I need to do some old sketches like this. Paint into them, do them quick with set value palettes, enforce the Reilly idea of preparation for quick work.
another off a very loose sketch. And I realized, after doing this, what I'm after is an oil look straight out of loose doodles.
Everyone always says "I like your doodles."
That's it. I've graduated to doodles only, hereafter.

Taking an inked doodle, selecting the black with channels, making the selection a path, filling the path to get a clean vector shape type  of look. And then messing it up.

Borrowed a render of someone's 3d fire escape. The cat woman started as a very loose silhouette done with the pen tool.

I like the sharp pen tool edge. It will be interesting to see it used against oil type brushes.

Blue seems to be my go to dominant color.

I've noticed from seeing screen shots of Bill O'Reilly and other Fox personalities that using B and no R or G as a a background makes things pop (Google images of Bill O'Reilly).

I know how to make a path a selection, I didn't know you could make a selection a path.

Selection to path is a detail killer of course. But if you want a smoothed out, clean line look, it works well.

Neat. Never went to the paths menu when I had a selection and always right clicked paths when I had them, never saw that command.
