Huzzah!

I seem to have levelled up in my sleep... I can paint, in photoshop, somewhat well. Thank the gods for small mercy's.

But seriously, I'm dead proud - guess those tutorials I looked up last week helped somewhat. Though I have to admit hair is still giving me problems, and I haven't even tried my hand at back grounds yet. Fingers crossed I'll figure it all out before the week is out (-scoff- yeah right, hopeful much?).

Here, I'll give you privy to my works in progress (no matter how bad :P)





So both of these are doodles for a friend - I say doodles, that's what they started out as, but kind of ran away with me... the 'geisha' one, was the first one I painted when I realised I'd finally figured out how to shade without line work (no, seriously, for me this is an accomplishment. I am the Queen of Black-Lines)

The top one - Eddie - I *hate* his far arm - need to fix that, along with other, periphial stuff (like his nose and face shape). But I love his hair :P I spent so long on that hair - found out that if I used an inner shadow, with the noise cranked slightly that it made the hair actually look frizzy. Gotta love accidents.

As for the second, I love her eyes, plain and simple. :D

  1. Let's make this a game, shall we? You have to guess who this is, how I got to your blog, and how much I miss you. Here's your clue: The first drawing reminds me a great deal of a concept we drew up for a certain character in a certain comic that fizzled out but still happens to be on my computer.
