Managed to get hold of Painter 8 couple of weeks ago and I've been happily sketching away ever since. Here's a couple of my first images.

The third one was from scanned pencil sketches. I loaded the scans in P8 and used the GEL layer mode to Paint under the pencil lines.

Good stuff
I like the designs for the robot and the kid. About the boy though, his coat looks a bit flat and doesn't really support the head. See if you can do somethin about that. Other than that, keep up the good work.

i really like the robot/chicken piece...im always a sucker for the "innocent robot just being introduced to life" kind of pieces

great work on all of them - im curious - what tools in painter do you use to sketch? to color?
im still feeling my way around the program and trying out all the tools - so far, i dont feel as comfortable as i do in photoshop, but i definitely see the potential of painter when i use it and in your work

Hi Cris,

To be honest I use some of the more basic tool in Painter 8. I have been learning the program over the last few weeks although I am very familiar with Photoshop and Painter 7. Mainly looking for new brushes and tools. I favour the more basic tools like airbrush and the basic markers. To be honest, I still sketch in Pencil and import with a scanner a great deal. I think corel have it right in this version briging it closer to Photoshop in workflow.
