PS Painting

[boxed]

Hey guys! At the moment I'm working on a painting in Photoshop of the Tenth Doctor, and since I know a lot of you are mind-blowing at this sort of thing, I was hoping for a bit of advice.

It is going rather well so far, IMHO. Although I'm rubbish when it comes to colouring, so can't help there...

I think that's a pretty damn fine effort, actually. The only thing I've ever just flat out done in photoshop was black and white so I don't think I have that much of use to contribute, but you seem to have been doing pretty well so far!

I'm a Painter whore so I'm not much help with photoshop. But if you need a colour theory guru, you can poke me, I don't mind. I'd have to see what other colours you'd be using in the artwork before I can suggest any changes, really. :O

Oh wow, this is brilliant!!
I do use layers, a bit obsessively actually, and I'm dead hesitant to merge anything. At all. But seriously, this is the best set of advice I could've asked for! I worked on it a bit this morning with your tips and it looks so much better --- see for yourself! It still needs work, obviously, but I think the outcome is looking a lot better than it did before.

Thank you so, so much for helping me out. This painting business is real tricky. (:

cool

it looks like a water colour

i only dabble with photoshop

but so far it looks great

it's good that you have variance with light and dark, really good

cheers

oh, what else do you intend on doing with it?
