Description
A great song, that embraces your soul.It is a beautiful melody, even greater as a whole.
Well, I’d say that this one is a personal best, and hopefully a new standard that I will uphold.
Just about everything regarding this one came out pretty well, starting from the initial sketch (which, as you may see, I just couldn’t drop in favor of working on my manga) to the end result you see right now. Almost everything in this piece was made experimenting; I didn’t check any coloring tutorials or such. So with that in mind I’m pretty darn proud of it, especially the smoke. So I suppose this is one yet of many in my conquest to learn more about coloring. Don’t ask me about the background, I don’t know myself, I just kinda drew a few lines, a few dots here and there, and it grew on itself.
But I suppose it looks like a stage or somesuch.Made it in a wallpaper format because I wanted to use it as one, but feel free to use it as well.

This coloring does look very good
But ...you had spacing on when you did the smoke. You can see all the circles in a way that screems photo shop (in a negative way)
Spacing can be removed on the brush setings (should be zero on most brushes, only figurative brushes like the grass brush makes a good use of it, or big spacing to get spread out dots)

Yeah, I'm pretty aware that the circles can be seen
But remember that this image is at a LARGE resolution, if I am to lower the spacing to below 5% things will start to look pretty ugly, if you catch my drift.
I appreciate the feedback.

I always work on high rez, and has spacing at the minimum of 1%
If I want distance, I prefer scather from spacing (it gives a more natural effect)

Yeah, but you probably have a better workstation than me.

It looks good this way too, it would just look a bit more natural
The spacing makes it look a bit like the entire thing is sparceling, kinda...
Smoke does sparkle in the light, but not that much thou...
