I don't know anything about Painter IX, but if it's got layer capabilities... use and abuse 'em for all they're worth.

Yes, learning a new program for the first time can be a trip.
You can learn a lot by looking up tutorials, though - and I recommend it.

Definetly plan on doing that... and I've actually got through 1/2 of one where I was just all antsy to actually play with my new toy. (Pad/stylus)...So I went ahead and just started on this nifty picture. I'm not disappointed, save for when I was saving it, and lost all the brown/black details I had in it.
::shrug:: I'll re-do it sometime. After I get finished with this Kag/Inu lineart I have started.

Oh gosh, the digital drawing pads? With the digital pen that transfers what you draw to the screen? Those are a pain in the neck to work with  |

| That's your FIRST attempt? It looks a lot better than what some people do after practising a lot. |

In all actuality, I can't use the mouse to save my life, so the digital pen saved my life. I love it because I've always been able to draw while looking at something else, just trace what I am looking at... and it sorta happens.
Eh, to each his own I guess. However, I am still new with the whoe program, and I see what these other people do on www.deviantart.com, and it makes me drool AND wonder how they got so good with just a computer program.
::sigh:: I'm 17 now, maybe I'll be able to actually make good pictures by the time I'm what... 40...?  |

Thank you, but it seriously isn't. It's just a bit of line art that I TRACED and then filled in with... I think I used pens/charcoals and a helluva lot of the filler button.
It was just trying to match the shading with the rest of the tones... blah blah blah... she still looks 2-D which is what I'm trying to work out of.
But thank you, it's nice to know that I actually have some sort of talent. Helps me keep going... make other pictures.

I used to have a pen, but it died on me... so, being rather stuck with a mouse, I kinda had to teach myself to use it.

The picture itself is gorgeous, but the actual colors are a little off -- for example, the black lips. Still, as first attempts go... Dang, woman! You rock!

Thanks Janette, I appreciate that alot! Even though it's only simple tracing of lineart and then a scan, fill in the colors... and voila! But, you're right, when I was saving it, something went wrong with the coloring of the eyes and lips. I JUST re-did it, and should upload it here soon. |

Personally, I discovered that if I made the black-and-white art into a layer that let colors show through the white areas in PSP, I could get it colored in pretty nicely by placing colors on below layers. I'm not sure exactly how you'd go about that in Painter, but I'd bet there's a way to do it.
