Description This is my first "official" painting in Painter. I discovered the uses of this program several days ago, and I'm really liking it. A lot, in fact. So I thought I'd go a little all out and draw something of my own and color it.
I tried to go for that uplifting and happy feeling that I know so well from the beginning of summer vacation. Mine just ended, what a pity.

Software: Corel Painter 9 and finishing touches in Photoshop CS.

Awesome, just awesome. Now I feel like it is the last day of classes. But nah... I'm still in the middle of the sem though but am already looking forward to this semester's end. Very nice colors and I like your drawing style.

What a great feeling it is to be free in the greatest season of all. This here looks quiet dandy Pretty funny, and great. Looking at this brought be back to the feeling at the end of the school year back in June. Well I'm going to add this to my favs. Awsomeness!

Holy moses. That is incredible technique. I am a user of painter and I appreciate this a lot more than many people would because making such a smooth, clean, and simple image in that program is not really as easy as it looks. I guess a gentleman never kisses and tells... but what tools did you use to make this? Its insane! Airbrush? Low opacity, high size pencil? I must know!

I used the regular dull conte, with some occasional hyper tapping of the alt key, for the eyedropper tool (when I needed to blend colors).

something is oddly... cute about this. I don't know, it reminds me of watching Sesame Street when I was a kid. I remember how much I used to love that show... growing up sucks, I'm finally starting to realise how care free I was as a kid. This picture... it's rather heartwarming.
