Description The theme is bright red. Have I blinded you already? XD
The picture is still in progress, however it's looking not too bad so far a "color use" practice. The picture looks very different than the sketch [link] I totally suck at colors.

Sjeez, Painter is totally heaven! *goes in an euphoric state.
Even though it's a truncated Classic version, even though it shuts down whenever it wants, and even though it can't handle 300 dpi A4 format very well. But! Painter makes my artistic child dream comes true.

The characters are the main leads from my manga The Gift.
Andore (girl, same as the previous illustr [link] but after she lost her memmories) and Ryo (guy) just standing in some random forest (because trees as background are easy to paint). His darn blond hair is hard to color. It doesn't create enough contrast with his skin (his skintone needs to being tweaked).

edit:
It is finished! \^o^/

Good god, you're slowlyyyy making the move over to digital? Noooooes!

Soon, very soon, there'll only be a handful of us traditional artists left and we will then be hunted down and killed!

Or put into a museum of manga. Whichever is the worse punishment really.

!!! Amazing! the palet is wonderfull and your non-lineart painter style is so beautiful and eye pleasing. The reds are actually quite calm and warm, not too bright at all! And Ryu's hair looks fine, perhaps you could make the background behind his head a bit darker, because now there is a bit of a white 'hole' in the right upper corner. More dark background would make him pop more.

well, I think it looks very nice. You made good use of red colors and you're using painter? Me too! I'm using Corel Painter X t the moment but it likes to crash sometimes (*_*);

I'm kind of married with Painter hah : D I wish you good luck with this untamable sexy program!

good work, I never tried Painter before so I can't judge your qualities and techniques..but it really looks great

One thing you could correct is; his neck looks very tall and he hasn't got a chin. For the first thing you could for example give him a larger hood so his neck looks shorter. and the second....you could make his neck a little smaller.

Just some tips, do you what you like with it. Maybe you could use this one for the exhibition in Utrecht!

good luck!

Maybe you should XD ( after you've mastered PS ) Ah yes, thanks for the pointer about the chin. Don't worry about the hood, it all will be fine ^^

I already printed another illustration for the exhibition There is a horizontal stroke in the sky thought, which it shouldnt be there. Thanks copyshop. Anyway, it's not very noticeable, it was discounted \^-^/

Never got used to Painter. But you seem to handle it quite well.

The guy in the picture reminds me of someone I know
