First try: Batman

[lopezdau]

Hi everyone!

This is my first attempt to digital paint, the sketch has been done with pencil and the painting with painter 7 and mouse (no wacom here :( )

What do you think? Comments and suggestions are welcome!

I'm using mainly airbrush, burn and dodge and the 'just add water' tools, what other tools do you recommend?

Regards!

Hehe...this must be Busman then...how about a small Robin beneath licking an icecream or pocking his finger up his nose...

Watch objects in real concerning the volume...for example look at the mask...there is a straight line where the mask ends, but this can't be...the line must fit to the shape of the face, to the up and downs...the light reflection is too small, so the mask looks really flat...you must mold the mask with the light and shadow colors...

This applies to all parts in the image...

As for the brush-question, you'll get no and thousand answers to this...everyone has got his own fav brushes, you should try out every brush and then work with the one you liked most...

thanx for your reply fozzybar, I will add more volume to all the parts (except the mask, I like the actual 'flat' style :D )
