lol, I must be one as well, she is an indian goddess... I know she is far to pale to look indian but she did end up looking very geisha like, we'll call it multi cultural, a celt doing a pic of an Indian who looks japanese. Multicultural love, lol!

Thanks for your comments! I cant work brushes, I think I'm just too lazy to faff with them so I always use the default brush in photoshop, but I like to mess with the transparancies a lot, maybe Im finally getting what I learned in watercolours all those years ago into my digital stuff!!

whatever you're doing its coming out awesome! u pre-sketch and scan right? i think i'm going to start doing that, i always go blank and stare at the screen for 30 minutes and then just start vectoring hair... lots and lots of hair,

i guess we're both in for multicultural studies then. but she does look very indian, i promise

I used to, but usually I draw straight into photoshop, I really want to start drawing and scanning more though. Lots of hair is always good! I dont even draw the shape of the face any more! I do a face coloured blob then shape the face with a hair layer on top... cos I'm dumb, lol!

I have nothing but respect for strange people who can use a mouse to do anything other than click and point! I havent got the patience or the skill with a mouse, I would end up throing the bloody thing out of the wondow.
