Forest Breeze (First tablet painting)

So this looks really nice...but aaaall I did was colour the girl haha. The lines are free to colour on deviantart by AwsumZ. And you probably all recognize the background from a resource pack someone posted...I don't remember which one haha.

It was good practice for my new tablet though...I'll try a sketch of my own eventually, which will look ugly. xD

good job, looks very professional

Thanks :]
I did my best to make the shading look right...I think I might've over burned it when I was finished though...

That's really nice man. Very attractive.

I have to agree with an above comment, your Burning and Dodging need a bit of practice as some of the hair is flat and 2 dimensional, but the colours are really good and it flows nicely.

Best thing I find is to use a soft brush and after applying the main colour, to just rub the areas you want darken. Follow the flow of the image and use your light source effectively. Also, don't be afraid to add or remove parts of the image. With my other Skate Sig I had to redraw a heap of the Grind rail because it was hidden away. :)

Keep it up mate. I love coloured in stuff as you can bring a whole lot of life to a bland and simple image. :D

Painting is such a strong word, recoloring would be the right term. You did a pretty good job and I agree with the above comments ;)

Thanks Rad :]
And I used the paintbrush, so that's just what I typed out lol...xD
It gets the point across anyway, you know what I did. :P

I think this looks pretty good:) GJ!

Great Job it looks cool

Great job with the coloring, I agree with the above statements but I think you got the shading down well.

Very pro. O__O
i know that background very well. :) and you put it too great use as well.

very epic mate although you shoulda did a lil more blending :D

Awhaa awesome, I don't seem to get the shadows thoo.

love it :)

Thanks guys :]
And I would have Tay, but the person who owned the lines specifically asked for them to not be altered in any way. ><

really nice it's amazing Hosh ^_^ KIU

honestly I disagree 100% with the people telling you to use the burn/dodge tool. the point of having a tablet is it paint/sketch digitally, and if you want to paint you need to start developing a mastery of tints and shades of colors. burn and dodge to not work on paintings, work instead on developing and eye for color changes and how to change the colors to get your shadow and highlight effects.

Thanks Ion, I'll try to work on that next time <3
(By the way, that pink sig of yours is so pretty! *_*)
