Good job  |
Thank you.
Yeah, a lot of the edges are a bit more jagged than I would prefer. I'll have to work on that. Also true about the hair. Perhaps a lighter shade?
The stone is my favorite part. It just *looks* right to me.
Thank you for your input. It really helps me a lot. I'm actually strongly considering going to school and majoring in art, so that I can learn to draw (both traditionally and digitally), paint, and graphic design. That's pretty much why I started the general thread "Nature vs Nurture"; as I've said a few times, I don't really have much experience with drawing or anything artistic really. And yet, I want to do just that. But is it even possible for me? Is art an inherent skill that some folks are just naturally good at? Or can anyone start from scratch and, with patience and practice, grasp and hone the fundamental elements of what makes good, visual art?
I'm plagued by this thought, and it makes me wonder if I'd just be wasting time and money on something I'll never truly be able to produce.
Oh well, I'll just keep on practicing my coloring abilities as I explore the question further.
