Description Part of a painting for a book I did some six months back. Originally she was sitting on the back of a dragon, but I was never really happy with the way it came out and repainted the background in my own time as my own personal sanity saver - everyone needs a sanity saver, and this was part of mine!

Pencil sketch on paper, painted in photoshop. Click on it for full size - well the full size of the posted image anyway!

Fantastic piece, really love how you painted the light and especially the little detail over her fingers How do you get so smooth skin on your characters? do you paint it only with airbrush or smooth it out even further with blur?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Loopydave In reply to Grappo77 [2010-08-06 14:45:51 +0000 UTC]

I use the soft brush in photoshop for smooth tones and hard edge brush for the harder lines. Dont really use the smudge or blur tool much, but I do paint the pictures rather large so they look a bit smoother at the smaller size than they probably are.
