I was playing with my half a trade with  ylangylang and this is what came out. I'm having increasing difficulties with PS as it likes to not do what I tell it to or confuses the layers in a weird way. I think it may be because it's a cracked version of CS3, or maybe because I used CS4 before I'm just not used to how it works. But then again...lol, I'm just becoming more aggravated at the fact it doesn't know what the hell a "layer" is, how to keep them properly seperated and why it won't let me draw over paint on the selected layer I'm working on.

It's being rather retarded and I'm getting sick of it. CS4 never gave me this much trouble. xD lol

I have every intention of purchasing both SAI and Sketchbook Pro so we'll see how things work out when that happens. I like SAI's features and I like SBP's turn feature. Both seem pretty awesome a lot easier to work with than this cracked and broken wannabe PS download. lol

However, this helped me practice my shading a little bit. I understand it a little better now. Hopefully that will continue to improve.

Just wish I had such a wide selection of markers as PS has of paint combos. lol, But that's why digital stuff is so awesome. I can just change a color by 10 or 20 shade degrees and I get a sort of cell-shading outcome. It makes it a lot easier.

I'll be coloring this traditionally soon. It might turn out better in marker, but who knows.

I want one of those tablets you can draw directly on like a touch-screen monitor...lol, those are sweet. xD
