rendering and color study!

I was browsing here, and wanted to get the colors to blend really well. Like this (http://www.imphead.com/port/cp/cp2.html) I know it doesn't look as good as that but I tried my best, and to the best of my knowledge. Done in painter with sharp chalk and camelhair brush.

I think I did good. What do u guys think? Man it is not easy to get colors to blend really well. But I'll definetely keep trying.

p.s I used a ref, and it ended where the black starts, so I juiced up the black a bit.:)

C & C PLEASE!

juicin up the colors... oh .. yeah!!!:p

Hey, you need to create a webpage, so we can view that, not just link the picture from fortune city, because we can't see that.

Well I can see it ....

It looks good... better than what I can do in painter...
I take mine into Photoshop to tweek it some....
As for blending, I use a low opacity on my brushes...
To get to look like the website you were refering to, I have not
gotten that far yet in painter. Keep posting ,,, I want to see more.....:chug:

I will. I was sending emails to the guy who painted the pic in the link. He told me about his technique and suggested a couple of things. I'll paint something new today!

i always use liquid ink to blend colors in painter, it seems work for me.

[N3W8I3]
