Description This is my 3rd attempt at digital coloring. The lines are by the MASTERFUL ...Please Check her stuff out her lines are great and her coloring is beyond words!

Half was done pre-tablet, with my god awful mouse, and the second was done while learning how to use the damn thing. I considered going back and starting it from scratch but since i'm just learning i thought it was better to finish and start fresh on something new.

Thank you for allowing me to Practice on your awesome stuff Nei!

Oh and I would be happy for any Critiques ON THE PAINTING SIDE. If you start rambling about the lines i will just delete you for being unable to read and follow basic instructions.

not bad at your 3rd attempt. If you are after a critique:
* then i would suggest going over the lines in the hair to give it a softer feel.
*The nose came out great. Many people can't do them.
*The chest area looks a little flat. Possibly some more highlights showing her curves.
* I presume your light source is coming for the top right hand corner. Try to make that consistent with the whole picture. Including the hair.

Otherwise a very good attempt.

I Agree 100% about the chest. This i think is a combo of two things, other than practice, I noticed that my monitor is very high contrast and so when i was looking at it on my boyfriends monitor the WHOLE picture looked really washed and the chest was even flatter looking then on mine. Also i need to learn to paint with more colors to depict shading not just values of the same color which is something i'm working on.

Also in reference to the light source i noticed that as well. Also something that shows my lack of tech practice.Hopefully some more work and practice will give me a better result. I'm trying a piece now that has rather severe lighting for just that reason.

Thanks for the tips and Critique!

Nothing Yet but ill keep checking. Keeping an eye on the junk too just in case it puts it there. Do you happen to know the file size? I read that my work email rejects anything over 20mg's. which is pretty big for an image but ya know with Hi Rez i was 100% sure.

Awesome! I thought that might be it. Try the Ldyornge@yahoo.com perhaps. Otherwise I wouldn't know where to get it to me other then if you have an FTP program, I host a server i could email you the info on. Gah! who knew some things would be such a pain in the butt. Many thanks for taking the time out of your day just to do me a favor.
