My first try at digital painting after looking at various painting tutorials here at da. You can find some in my favoritues and rest you can search for in the page. Very good tutorials wich helps alot.

Used a picture as reference and guide.

Was done with mouse but planning on buying board sometimes in the future.

Edited the piece after some advices by slickgreekgeo :)

That's excellent. Here are some tips to help you improve:

-don't be afraid to push your skin tones; the chin area should have a slightly green/blue hue, the forehead a yellow hue, and the cheeks a red hue; this especially applies to male characters.

-up your contrast a bit; mess around with the levels more for desired results.

Hope this helps :)

thanks for the advices, Even if I used contrast , levels and curves alot before suddenly you forget all about it when you start something completely new :D So I modified the image and added some.

I will test out the hue adjustments and how it works out on the next piece I will do :)

Thanks again for the advices.

Nice, that's what I call a big improvement. Keep it up; As for hue adjustements, try new use a new layer set at 'hue' or 'color' to experiment. Remember these modes are very sensitive, so be sure to mess with the opacity tool as well.

I will remember that . Now I just need to practise painting hair and clothing along with the skin ^^
