  • Title: First attempt digital art...
  • Artist: Mamimichan222
  • Description: My first ever attempt at digital art using adobe photoshop, and lots of tutorials from online. I worked a long time, messing up and fixing cause it still confuses the hell out of me. I don't have a tablet so I drew alot with a mouse which is awful, and a pain. Anyways I would love any comments that I can use to improve, and tips and tricks.
    The fullsize is available at the link below if you're interested.

  • Absolutely stunning work. The hair almost looks like it's on fire, you know, the burning embers. It's really good work. And I want the boots. Good lord I want the boots.

  • Okay, one. A great tip? Get a tablet. It helps tremendously.

    But, the biggest thing I would advise is knowing what your favourite tools are. What brush strokes you like best, and what effects you want and don't want. I mean, it's good to explore all of them, but if you wany things to turn out how you want, figure out what you go-to tool is. I use Corel Painter 4 and I love it to death. I don't want criticize when you're using a mouse, but just work on shaping and posing of the legs. :]
