Hey guys, once again I'm back to post. Well, I think this time I'm accually gettin better; who knows. Anyway, I had to do a drawing for English class, and I know anything computer will blow 'em away. So, I spent maybe 1/2 hour to an hour and put up this thing really quick. It's Odysseus, in his boat and Scylla, the big green blob on the cliffs. Granted, I never really finished Scylla, infact I didn't really finish the whole piece, but hey, I'm going above and beyond here. Anyway, enough rambling;

any suggestions, comments, etc. dearly wanted. Anyway, I'm still new to this stuff, but atleast I can make an English teacher happy

It's a pretty good start, but you need to keep refining. Go in with darker and darker shades and tighten the whole thing up. Don't be afraid to throw in some varied colors here and there to give it some spice, instead of solid blocks of color. But it is a good start, just needs to be developed a lot more.

nope...

still blurry...


Try to stay away from the soft brushes (instead use hard edged brushes). Because the picture looks a mess with all the soft brushes everywhere its very hard to make out whats what. If you had done this entire thing using hard brushes i think it would have looked 100% better. The shapes are there, the stage is set, but... because its so blurry it really takes away from the picture and it makes it very hard to differentiate what is what. At least practice with some hard edged brushes i think you'll agree it'll help out alot and improve your picture 100 fold. Keep up the work! cant wait to see your next post!

Thanks guys! Yea, I like the idea of hard brushes, and also I need to refine more. I use Painter classic, so I'm not really sure what brush to use... I'm using the airbrush tool right now. I didn't put enough time into it really, but I'm sure my English teacher will faint over it, so hey. Anything for extra credit. Thanks!
