Well, i havnt drawn much art latly since I'v been in such..er..lets say..sadistic and freaky moods but well iv been trying things out with dark tones of colours and highlights. Pity the tusks and the face are abit wrong but its just a practice. Im still working on the tusks and the darker shade near the nose and the tusks. Edit: argh..now that i look at it, i made the highlights too un-even and too strong. |

thumbnail looks much better, the full image is blurry. good thing you put smudge down, you are a good example to all those who smudge to blend colors. See, it can be done without smudge. |

yeah, dam jpeg... i hate it..and i was gonna resize so it wouldnt look so bleh but meh... and i guess this way looks cooler..takes a longer time but cooler. EDIT: Okay Im so p*ssed of you dont know much i want to cut things up... i had the body planned out, tusks/face done and armour done and guess what..the $#@$@ computer #$@4 crashed!!!! crashes at sometimes when i play musics or videos it crashes at the end of them..and i thought i fixed that problems so im so p*ssed of and im not in the mood to finish this off. |

Use the eye dropper tool constantly. That'll help you blend much better without the smudge tool. You seem on the good path! ^^ |

Shouldn't an artist be able to pick out the correct colors without using the eyedropper? |

he's not refering to use eyedropper on a picture and use that color on the painting. In digital painting, to blend colors, you must paint a color, pick the color betwen that color and another color and paint with that color (too much color, argh) in betwen and so on. |

Oh, thanks for clearing that up. Makes more sense now considering I do the same thing. |

I'm so sick of listening to peeps telling others not to use the eyedropper (or any other tools), seriously, paint however the fuck you can. By the way, the thumbnail looks kickass! |

of course you can paint however the fuck you can/want, but by the way you paint can result in good looking stuff or totaly shit stuff. |

That is all well and true... buuuuuuut... Instead of talking about Art in general... we could talk about Werewulf's piece... couldn't we? One thing that helps when painting in order to ensure you don't screw up horridly with contrast and such is to use a lower opacity. Something around or below 50% usually works nicely. Then, if you need to, go back over it a couple times. More thin coats is better than 1 thick one. icbm1987 |

you should put more time and reflexion in that |

i used exactly 50% opicity on both eraser and brush in my last piece (scribe guy). Eyedropper i constantly use as well, the alt key turns your brush into an eyedropper in photoshop. i sont even think about it anymore, its become in instinctual part of how i paint digitally (just like using B and E) |
