Look, I arted.

After many months of keeping the tablet tucked in my desk drawer, I finally decided to take it out for a walk. And despite my fear of photoshop, this happened. I finally feel competent with a tablet.

Although I initially decided this would be an exercise with lights and shadows, overall, this became a piece that would prove to me I can actually paint in photoshop without bad things happening.

Love how this turned out. 'Tis the boyfriend's fursona, haha. Gonna print it and frame it and give it to him because yeah. Reasons. We're coming up on our three year anniversary anyways.

Yay for purpley lions :heart:

looks nice!

just a heads up, this is very dark. I had to adjust it in photoshop to see most of the detail (temporarily; nothing saved). you might want to try looking at it on a variety of displays before printing. but maybe it'll come out okay anyway! (I don't know anything about printing.) personally, I have an IPS monitor. they are coming down in price and I highly recommend them to all artists as they have great brightness (proper lights and darks) and the best colour quality available at a reasonable price. so many other LCD monitors are just too bright!

also, congrats on three years. that is a long time.

Arrrrgh, I had a feeling it was too dark. I just changed the file now; is it still too dark?
IPS monitor, eh? Sounds good. I currently don't have a desktop set-up right now, so I'm forced to the confines of my shoddy HP laptop, which is such a hassle. It seems to eat up lights and darks like candy, and doesn't like to work with high resolution files in photoshop or corel. I guess I finally have a good reason to splurge a chunk of money on a new computer :P
