New Blogs are great!!
The only lame part is filling the dumb thing out and fixing the settings and such.
Anywho, I got a new program called 'ArtRage' a while back and it works very well--I recommend it to traditional painters going digital. It's easy to use and figure out.
I decided to do a portrait of a friend, though I'm not sure if I'm doing her any justice, =); the colour scheme also conflicts with her personality--
Though, on a more serious note, I've never been able to pull off believable skin tones or realistic clothing (I also don't have the patience to paint very realistic looking hair). All three of those points are things I'm hoping to improve on [in the time I'm in indep. art]. Any tips would help a lot--Regarding this particular piece, aside from it not being complete, it feels like somethings off; I'm sure it's my colour choice. I'm considering making the brown in the background more neutral, though there is a part of me that feels it should be warmer; with more red mixed in.
Oh well...any advice will help!!
