Something about this picture just makes me happy ^^*
Koi fish are so personal, and they add a very nice sense of depth to the picture, along with the very nice shade of blue you have used ^^*

Blue is a very expressive color. No matter which color one use in combination with it, the outcome is nice. ^^*
I think that you have done a great job with the blue, to make the color flow in expressive ways. If you feel that you want to explore the color more, you should, as the outcome is bound to be amazing ^^*

I've always had problems with blue. Every painting that starts out blue (except for Koi) ends up golden orange or yellow.

Based upon that, I can say that you did a -very- good job with this particular picture ^^* Looking at it, one cannot tell

yep - but have uploaded only 3 pics - somehow I have problems to get them sharp in small size

Do you use Adobe Photoshop? The 'sharpen' filter is very good. I was surprised how well it sharpens images. If you don't have photoshop you can send me the file, I'll be happy to sharpen it for you.

THANK you so much - I have photoshop
But in summertime a digital artist and friend will visit me, and I hope he takes some minutes time to show me something...

Are you also on CGsociety.org?
Fun place!

only as visitor - as far as I know, they allow only digital artists - and huh - need so much to learn

Ooh, but with your background, I think you'll learn extremely fast!

Usually I learn every software programm pretty fast
But all the tutorials I get are in english - and to be honest - I didnt really try hard enough - just being lazy and like my "dirty fingers with the pastel" - hmm, but seeing all those great art done digital - I may be tempted ...

Heehee, I used to love pastels... until I turned 10 and my mom said I would be reponsible for cleaning up my own mess.

Yep, for the same reason, she never got me oils.

Have you ever used oils? I think it must be wonderful to paint with oils - but then I think, no matter which MEDIUM I use - it is the art I do - not the medium what makes it.... (make that sense in english?)
π: 0 β©: 1
No, unfortunately, oils were too expensive (and messy) for me!
I have used acrylic and water paint... but I ended up loving digital ... no mess, no waiting to dry.
Plus with digital, you can mess up and fix almost instantly!

This is really beautiful. You did a fabulous job with the koi and the design on the girl's back is great! Also the way you created the sensation of being underwater, with the faint shadow and the light, is just amazing.

You have a wonderfully beautiful gallery. This piece immediately caught my eye, and I have to say that is breath taking. The concept is creative and new, and your style is unique and refreshing.

*counts the days down until he owns a tablet..*

Before I had a tablet, all I wanted was a Wacom, but could never afford them. When I was 16, I ended up buying a 'Genius' - a Taiwanese brand, I think, that had a 6 x 4 tablet for only $40. It was a modest investment and helped me decide whether or not I wanted to save for a Wacom.
4 years later, I got myself a wacom.

I used to have a graphire, that worked very well too, for a much better price. I got my intuos when the graphire had too many bumps and scratches.

Oh, nice. I've been thinking about investing in one, but I'm not sure which one to go with.

Genius also make good tablets. I know Wacom is the primary king of tablets, but when I was a student, I bought myself a $40 Genius tablet... it was only about 6 x 4 inches and it worked just fine for me until I was able to afford a Wacom. It was a great investment at the time and it helped me decide if a tablet was necessary at all.

Sweet, thanks for the tip. I'll definitely look into a Genius for now.
