Description This is a colour-sketch I did recently, that I thought I'd upload. It's half-sketch half-finished so to speak. I'm not going to continue on it, because it was more an exercise then a finished product.

Or I may continue on it... I'm not sure yet.
I drew it in Photoshop 7.0, with the paintbrush tool. (a round/hard brush with the 'other dynamics' option). I had to fiddle with the contrast and intensity to get the jpeg to look like the draft. I also had to add a lot of red to get the original glow into the jpeg, which may have removed some of the blue.
I wish Photoshop could convert the draft coloursettings to the final jpeg.

And I already know this will look too bright on a mac.

There should be a universial monitor setting

He looks like Isildur after refusing to destroy the One Ring.

The lighting looks great, and the slight reflection off the floor gives a great mood to the painting. The folds on the clothing and the shadowing also look very good. What strikes me first is the doorway which seems a bit too hard to be realistic. I also think subtle shades of different colors could've given more to the feel. Now they seem just a bit monotone. A great painting nonetheless.

Yeah, It's because the rest of the stuff is painted free hand and rather slobbishly so, while did a square for the door before painting there. So there a 1 pixel border that is totally even against the rest of the painting that is uneven.

I'm personally rather happy with the colours, because it's really dark inside which gives the place a dark and dull look while outside it's bright and colourful. There's supposed to be some symbolism there, only portraited in the colours.

The floor, walls etc are boring however.
