crappy painting..

I don't even think I would want to label this as junk.. this painting totally failed.. haiz...

Paint with oc1.1 program..

I saw pros using just this program to complete a painting. Totally amazing..



Can't deny.. I'm a heavy ps user.. when it comes to layers, usually will end up using tons of layers.. (It's so hard to keep it less than 10 layers.. Not very use to one or just few layers painting.. for me that is..) I also rely on various brushes, blending, filter options and others in ps.. Otherwise, the drawing/painting will not look good.. This is one of my weakness.. Depend too much on ps..

I don't know how to paint his hair using oc.. I find it really tough to paint with the tablet functioning as a mouse.. it has no sensitivity pressure either..
so.. ended up like this.. Dunno why, I got extremely frustrated while painting this piece.. perhaps the screen too small.. I can't see properly on this notebook.. coloring, contrast and reflection problem.. I still prefer CRT monitor.. I'm more used to the it.. less reflection.. no need to adjust the screen..

took me 5-6 hours at least struggling to get the painting right.. (dunno what am I doing..) but still fail miserably..



Sux... Very messy.. total disaster.. his face looks so flat.. everything so wrong.. (should have look for reference...) I'm so horrible with colors too.. shakes head*... I can live without ps~!! lol. XD


playing around with the photobucket color balance..
