My love affair with Painter...

It's long overdue, but Painter and I are together at last. I have been putting it off for so long, due to a mixture of fear and laziness, but I believe the time has come for me to get to know this little gem of a package. Blending heaven!!

This was drawn from photo ref, but stylized obviously. I can't remember where the photo came from unfortunately.. I think it was one of those 'National Geographic Best Photos of 20-whenever" lists, but I wouldn't know how to find it again to credit the photographer. It is a gorgeous photo at any rate, there are actually a lot more children in the line in the actual photo, but I ran out of stamina. I really enjoyed attempting to capture the expressions on the faces of the little girls. I feel like that sort of thing comes so naturally to me and I find it so lovely and cathartic. This was lots of fun. And now I REALLY have to go and do some work....

A Blue Vampire.....

Played with Painter a bit tonight. This is the result of going back and forth between Photoshop and Painter. Loved the effect I was able to get in Painter with the hair. It's better on full view...

I should be working......
