Some steps in paleoart painting. It's not finished yet, I'll post an updated version when it is.

This is painted in Photoshop Elements 2 - a fairly old, basic program - the sketches are done with the Wax Pencil tool, the background with the Soft Round Airbrush, and the colors are blocked in with the airbrush but the fur texture will be done with the Pastel Medium Tip and the smudge tool.
