A dwarf face

my first picture done 100% in photoshop I really don't like the hair can someone help me with it

Good work! But the nose a bit crooked.

Did you smudge the entire painting?

yes he did. Not gallery quality (not finished), moved to the concept art forum.

Aye, a just move.

Try doing it without smudge. You think it looks good becouse it gives a decent quality quite fast, and it blends stuff easely, but in the end of the day, it just looks like poop. TDR made a good video tutorial on how to blend colors without using smudge, and it works for mouse users as well.

The structure of the face is alright, but its a horrible coloring... did you draw an outline first?

Btw does he even check his old threads.

i do read my other threads but all people are just swearing at me. Can someone tell me how i should do hair? sorry for being all braggy i look at it now and its not that great... but it' a start?

Hairs the hardes.. you just draw a shitload of lines with an opaque brush.

Before you even think about touching a pencil (forget computer graphics for now), read the bible: http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm
And also read the stickies here: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=42
If that doesn't get you started, nothing will.

Just posting to support TDR's links there.

Thanks for the tutorial thingies i haven't read them yet i just skimmed through them they look helpful

Hey I jst browsed throught the first tut (a bit off topic) but WOW really interesting stuff.

Added the link to the links sticky, thought that might be appropriate.
