Hello everyone. This is the 2nd digital illustration that I've ever done. It is a picture of my God son Seth at 6 months old. Yes his head is that big for now :-). I am using Photoshop CS2 and an Intuos 3 with the original pen nib that came with it. Right now I'm stuck on how to get the texture on his clothing. His outfit is made out of velvet. Also I was wondering how the illustration looks so far and if there is any advantage to using a different pen nib than the one that came with it the intuos?

Thanks in advance to any critiques and responses!!!

I really like the nice soft look you have on it so far.
I can't help you with the velvet, never tried to make it myself. As for the pen nibs, they just have different feels, try them all and see what you like :)

it looks really nice. You have a lot a very good tones in the skin... but the coat looks quite flat... some highlights would make a huge difference there. =)

Edit: oops... I just noticed that you said it was velvet... I don't have much idea on how to make it look like such... but here you have a couple references.. maybe it helps.
