Hi Alena

I think you have a recognizable style with that technique you are using - probably worth keeping it going. It looks a little bit like a traditional airbrush technique. Did you use any type of masking in this or is the effect created with a particular type of brush in Painter?

Something that might be useful to think about are the highlights in the characters eyes. Even as a cartoon style, this helps to reveal the key lighting conditions for the image; This might mean that some of the shadows across the image need to be more consistent with the direction of the light affecting the eye (the highlights represent light sources that are reflecting)

hi Tomas,
do you like it? glad to hear that :)

hi Roger/brushoff,
no, I did not use any mask, nor any special brushes this time - just basic airbrush strokes (different sizes), followed by blending/smudging and quite a lot of cca 2px brush detailing for the sharp edges/lines (the visible grainy texture was added in the end);

I did not record the painting process this time, but - you can see a little demo (the painting process captured) of the technique in the other thread of mine - in the "Dragon Embryo" illustration thread (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=643025);
though the dragon pic is absolutelly different type, basically the technique used for that painting was quite similar (stroke, then blending, then stroke, blending again etc), just to have an idea of what I am talking about, in case you are interested;
thanks for your comments/stopping by,
take care, a.
