my first 100% digital half hour working copy. Thanks everyone for your help regarding technique. I'm just so happy it worked out that I had to put it up.

Thanks for the info. I just got Painter 4.0 from my friend and am throwing myself in. I've made something recognizable in 15 minutes using all your suggested techniques!

Anthony - actually, i spent 25 hours dishing out version after version in digital format. The problem wasn't the hours but the lack of understanding of painting technique. The version you see here is ...

FleaBrain - 'well...you just threw my photoshop vs. painter theory out the window. My mouth opens. I am astounded. Am heading over to your tutorials. There is a wonderful sensitivity to your work. WOW ...

OMIGOD! Now this is going to sound worse and you'll all have a really good laugh because yah! I *did* use a tablet! It's an old one from 1995 but from the BEAUTIFUL examples I see....it's obviously NO ...

I've never really painted well with goache or acrylics. I haven't really gelled with the techniques required to do good work in those mediums. Oils have pretty much been a standard for me for over 10 ...

i agree. keep going. If you take a look at my first digital work, you'd die laughing. Seriously, pay more attention to body anatomy. Hands and feet etc. Once you get the actual drawing done well, it d ...

ohhhhhh! I can't believe my attempt at a digital image looks SOOOOOOO TERRIBLE!!! I'm a fine artist. Have been painting all my life so finally dive into this forum and tah-dah! Lots of digital art! I ...

uh... OHHHHH...(collecting mouth as it hits the ground)...*that* person.

heh...his work isn't bad huh?

Alright....I've started to just use this board recently and have been hearing "Spooge said this and Spooge" said that. "Spooge knows this....and Spooge knows that".

So...my question is: WHO is SPOOG ...

wwaaaaahhhhh! weep! weep! weep! (wiping back tears). sniff sniff!

Okay....gotta recollect again.

I concede Special Brew...this image in retrospect may look way too over-handed. Perhaps so 'realisti ...

I"m wondering what kind of clouds you chose to paint? They don't seem to have a structure. Did you use a reference for your clouds because at the moment, they look flat. Clouds actually have volume an ...

About the face...yes I agree. Point well taken. It does look lopsided. Guess i was sitting funny in my chair again.

I also agree with your suggestion to either paint the entire in picture or do it in ...

i enjoyed the softness of the painting as well. Since there is no obvious light sources, I won't say anything about hair highlights or the shadow under the head bracelet? I bet you have already figure ...

okay...went back and re-attached wings. Having problems with lighting again. It's 4am so hey...i've got an excuse...i can barely see!

Some suggestions would be great!

ohh! I couldn't help but have a good chuckle. The problem that I see here which I've been guilty of is drawing women the way I "THINK" women look like. Not actually how they are. Thank God a couple of ...

hi. Your picture is lovely. I'm glad you included the colour study. The face looks very very good. I see that you've really spent time working out the subtler tones though watch the shiny white forehe ...

I think that your placement of the wings is refreshing. It certainly forced me to think about what effect it has on the 'spirit' of the painting and for that matter, what the image portrayed. Original ...

Thanks. My strong point is colour and my weak point...you guessed it. Hands and feet.
Maybe i'm give her claws. haha. Seriously...i'll see what she looks like with a textured leathery appendage. In fa ...

ohhh woops. the picture is already on a slant. I didn't notice because i was looking at it from a strange angle.

In that case! good choice of composition! images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

HO! This is a very funny picture. What strikes me the most is the subjects' crazy expressions. How would you improve this?

Composition:
If you want to increase the drama, slant the plane by a few deg ...

oooohhh gee. You're right. That's some nice insight. Believe me, I"m receiving it very gratefully. hmmm...your rendition really enhances the composition as well. I see what you mean by light source.

That's wicked. I"m wondering though if you would need a prong or solid stand at the back of the rig to hold it in place when you use the equipment. You would encounter two very large forces pushing th ...

This is a very nice painting. I've got lots of praises but I think you've heard everything by now. Now here's what I think can be improved on (though of course I'm no expert)

1. Starting with the hea ...

very nice military guy.
I like the bulk of the person. The size of the shoulder pads is balanced by the weighty boots though the softness of paints and helmet prevent the person from looking "too" men ...

Good start. The only main problem i see is the length and width of the torso. It seems to be incongruent with the size of the rib-cage and higher. The waist and rib cage on an average woman is much la ...

okay...i figured out how to put this picture up. I"ve tried to colour the wings every which way but am having SO much trouble with lighting. Also, i can't get the wings to look like they're attached t ...

This is the next picture

This is my first oil paint.
images/smiles/icon_smile.gif It's a study of Singer Sargent. And the next picture is what i did to it to create a different look. Now i'm trying to figure out how you wu ...

The contrast really adds some depth and I like where you have placed your perspective plane. The next time, it would be invaluable if you use a grid layout system for your words. Also keep in mind the ...
