This is the first time I have tried to color a picture I have drawn with PhotoShop 5 LE. I was just wondering what other artist might think and if they have any suggestions since I have limited knowledge of Photoshop. This is by no means near finished. I would just like ways to make her look more real (maybe a little 3D). Thank you. Newpy

buy the december edition of the renderosity magazine and read my tutorial on how to colour stuff?? basically you need layers (lotsa layesr - one for each shade) and build up the dark and light areas... read the tutorial section over at polykarbon.com and have a look at lazerus' gallery here on rendo for his 'wiggle' pic tut - it's 2 big pics/screenshots of how he does things.

I would also suggest the use of the dodge/burn too to create shadows and highlights once your piece is painted.

Drawing is and has been my best psychotherapy. I've spent countless happy hours with pencil and paper. I highly recommend it. Of course, PS and a graphics tablet is even better -- saves trees and undos are easier than erasing ;-) If you'd like your drawings to look more real, "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" is the best book on drawing ever (see link). But you gotta do the exercises! - Bill

I would like to thank everyone for the comments and recommendations. I will consider them as I continue my drawings. Thank you again.

On the Dodge & Burn tools...I would reduce the opacity, so when you darken or lighten, the gradiation is light, and you can build up the tones slowly. Good start on your picture.

I am not sure what type of pic you are looking for but if it is the realistic look i would suggest getting rid of the outline and use your shades to define the form of your pic.
