paparoksguitar: i suck with colors

its great for a first time... u've got the basic logic for it i think.. r u goin for realism tho?

It's a great first go at digital painting. Most dp virgins usually airbrush or use a soft brush on the mofo and end up with something fuzzy and blurry. So good job at using harder edged brushes to define the shape of the grapes.

I would agree, choosing colours are one of the hardest parts of painting. It's sort of instinctive to choose purple for grapes isn't it? But if you look at a picture of grapes you see shades of blues, bits of pink, browns etc. Also the colours can change depending on the lighting. Best to use a reference, makes it much easier for colours.

From my blacberry it looks alright.(i'm on vacation so my only way of getting online is thru this) Like shurai said use a reference image and keep on painting.

Thnaks guys. I appriciate the cnc. I wasn't going for complete realism cause i knew i wouldn't be able to make it good enough. I agree with shurai though colors are hard. ALso lol i started out suing a soft bruhs but then i read the liitle bit on the guys dev art about not using soft bruhses.

Ill use a reference image next time. Thank ppl
