This is some kind of demony vampirey thing lol. It's my first digital picture and its not quite finished yet. Please give me all the c&c's you can think of

[kornedup]

A little later on... suggestions anyone?

Remember one: "For God sake, dont use blenders!" and too much burn+dodge just "kill" the colors. You can blend just background for more depth, but try to work in higher resoultion if you want more detail, and use more hard brushes. The idea is ok, try to find not such contrast colors and before u start coloring, pick a position for your light /left, right, from above, multiuple lights/ You should know where does light coming from. Next, you are using a human skull as source for your vampire, find good anathomy books and read, you will see how easy is to draw figures/skulls later. Keep it up!

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to redo the whole picture using your words of wisdom .

[kornedup]

Bars, I'm redoing the picture but I don't quite understand what you meant by no blenders. Does that mean stay away from the smudge tool?

[Simoom]

i can't speak for him, but probably. typically avoid use of the smudge and blur tools.

Thanks Simoom, on to seeing if I can do it with little or no use of those tools !
