Painting/color manipulation in Photoshop Elements 2.0 and touchups/color correction in GIMP.

Instead of writing as I had planned, I spent much of yesterday painting a scan. There were additional touch-ups today.

Another fanart of Robin Sena from the anime Witch Hunter Robin. I was going to do Al from Last Exile, but after I started, I realized I didn't know what colors were present in her dress. There's much less detail in Robin's face this time and I'm not too happy with the hair since I used a new technique at the wrong time. However, I wasn't so unhappy that I was willing to spend another couple of hours redoing it. In fact, I had lost so much interest in this piece that I kept the original scan lines. I'm hoping it adds a different element to the piece instead of detracting. But this is a shading/coloring exercise and not perfection.

The original drawing is based off of a DVD cover and the first sketch I had done which actually looked like Robin.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I didn't use any references for shading, so if something looks off, that's why.

EDIT 2: Yeah, I know the mouth and nose suck. It was a logistical problem that doesn't show up on the sketch. Remember, this was the second real digital painting, so that should explain some things as to why the painting sucks in general.
