Remember this sketch last year?
Well, I started painting it in Photoshop last year but had a difficult time blending so I took a break but I was determined to paint so I found my way around (through trial and error and a ton of youtubes) and finally learned to blend. It wasn't so difficult to understand once I learned. Now the hard part is getting the hang of blending.
It's going to take me a long time to finish this since I'm only painting when I'm not intimidated.
Did I mention I upgraded my Wacom Tablet this year? I went from the Bamboo Craft to the Intuos Pro. Wanted the Cintiq of course but realized I can never afford that unless I was a pro-artist.
