Haven't so much as looked at Painter in ages, and thought I'd give it yet another try to endear me. This is a little sketch turned illustration I had a colorstudy for, and sat down for a few hours tonight diddling with painter. I'm going to try to finish it entirely in painter, but no promises.

Painter's kinda gay.
Kinda awesome, but kinda (super) gay.

I like that she's in shadow, you should let a little dappled light come through. She's kinda reading as part of the tree behind her, though... is she? If so, she'd be kind of a weird rooting element of the tree. Nice value balance, overall.

But when I see a fawn, you know what I hear in my head?

"Fear the fearsome fury of the forest fawn!"

Ha, yeah....

She's not actually part of the tree, but I wanted her silhouette to blend with the tree as a first read.

NIcccce! While I didn't see the girl till Sam said anything , I stil really like the set up, If you wanted her to read a little better I would try lightening her value group a hint so that she is still int he shadow but not the same local value in as the tree. IF you don't wanna do that , maybe then consider throwing some red violets in there in order to pop her out juuuuuuust a bit more with color . Good job though, those landscape paintings that you did are paying off....

Now I need to find a gallery that wants to sell them, the first one I approached didn't even e-mail me back.
