Think of layers like tracing paper. The main white sheet is your background. Click on the other layer For the foreground) and sketch till you get the picture you want then ink and erase the sketch, color, and there you go. Paint BBS only has two layers (that I know) Shi and Lascaux you can add layer upon layer. The good thing about that is you can use one layer to skecth your picture then use another (new) layer to ink and color without losing your initial sketch. That's where the similarity to tracing paper comes in. Try it. It's so much easier with layers, believe me. Have fun, practice and do more. Hope this helps.

Looks like a bow and arrow and you flying over it, like the arrow's represented as part of the flying dream. Does that make sense? LOL

Your pieces always make one think Donna.

I could always fly in mine, too. Now I'm older and pretty much do everything in my sleep because I wake up at 3 or 4 am and come here. I like the idea, and I like the shapes and colors in this one Donna.

I like that bg a lot

Sweetcell (Apr 27, 2006)

Wow, great one, love that background. Like the opening of a concert or music video or a James Bond opening like mikron said, or one of the Angels focused on. Tan, doing so wonderfully.

very interesting Tiff, and you are right the background is very cool. I like the contrast between the two.

Jtablet plugin practice.

Sweetcell (Apr 26, 2006)

I'm submitting this for critique. Before I paint my dragon/jhereg I wanted to try to make scales with just paint instead of painting each one individualy (too insane). The wing is fine, it's exactly how I wanted it to come out, but the body scales are a little iffy.

I used both tablet plug-ins, the space bar nearly placed all the way to the right and tried different strokes, some circular, some cross hatching. Some paint, some burn and dodge, I'm not sure.... Help would be most welcome and wanted. ;)

davincipoppalag (Apr 26, 2006)

Thanks Limpet....I'm just glad to have another Giger fan comment my work here :).

Sweetcell (Apr 2, 2006)

I'm waiting for the finished piece. Gieger is an absolute favorite of mine and I just can't wait to see this done. I do believe you are an art god. I've done the Alien on Youdraw, I should try it here. Go Gig.
