I love tha colouring...I hope I get into painter half as well as you have.

The blue image is cool, reminds me of Dragonball Z, just as a fireball is thrown.

i really like the detail on the statuette head ... how do you get painter 7 to layer oils in a convincing way...
Im finding it really hard to get used to the opacity method of shading on a PC, creating custom brushes also seems a little complicated as i keep screwing them up... good work though kudos for posting them, i think ill give the thumbnail metho a go too!
;)

[I.was.ink]

I'm not that great at it yet, but I do everything in one layer using mainly the camelhair brush, and watercolor brush to lay down basic tones down. I wish I knew how to merge layers, but i don't. I guess its okay. No custom brushes, I just use whats on there. Really low opacity, and some scribbling at the begining, then I blend them together with the water brush. I set it to just add water and im set. I go back and forth until im finished. check this out (http://eden.dreamcrafter.com/tut02.htm)

I hope I helped you out. Post here or email me and I'll help you out all you need.

in reference i was confussed with the merging of layers too for a while... isnt dropping a layer on top of another doing the same thing?:confused:
i think you find it in the layer cammands ?
