Description So I've been watching some of =purplekecleon 's livestreams lately and well tried out the painting style that she does. I didn't do the exact same thing she does with making some spots colored with the pen tool and stuff. I tried my own way. She had a tutorial on how to do it but watching was how I learned. Sometimes, tutorials just don't cut it. But this was actually the third picture I made doing this. First one was crap and I plan on getting rid of it and the second one isn't done. I wanted to do something smaller and more simple. So this is where Saran came in. My Lanturn in Heart Gold. She is very pretty, no?

Yeah from what I've heard, photoshop isn't best at digital painting. Well I have heard that CS5 was made for painting though. Paint Tool SAI and Corel Painter were made for it, more so with tablets. But this kind of digital painting doesn't require a lot of layers or a crap load of filtering. Just a few hours and maybe 5 layers total for the experienced digital artist. Sometimes less than a few hours for some people.

But really, it's a good difference in shading and shines that define everything nicely. Especially when it comes to lineless pictures. Though I still need more practice with the style.

I think you pulled off this style very well! When I saw the thumbnail, I thought Purplekecleon drew this. ^-^

It was actually quite fun too. I didn't leave the sketch layer on either so it looks even better. Being all lineless and stuff. Thanks Lala!

Yeah I saw that you had a journal saying that your livestream was offline. I would've come but was at Ashura's because today was her birthday. Then again, we always hang out on Wednesdays too. But I'll try to catch your livestream next time.
