Hello Sijun members,

I'm an artist in training (student at the Art Institute Online) and I've been visiting this site quite a bit, so I thought I'd jump in. This is some real quick concept art I did in my spare time. The sketch is in ballpoint pen it was colored in Photoshop. I know it's not much, but any critiques or comments are welcome.

Cya,
Brian

Yes, they do look under-developed, mostly because I'm really new at working with color and computer paint programs. I've been sketching for most of my life, but have only recently become serious about art. Basically, I think I lack the experience to push my work any further. Now here's my question, I'm determined to get better at painting, but should I learn how to use acrylics and watercolor before I try and tackle the digital medium? By the way, I do have a Wacom, and it works great. Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it.

P.S. If anyone knows of any great painting tutorials or books I'd love to hear about 'em.
