Well First things 1st - “Hi Linda” 
I just discovered you or rather your work and was floored by it heh.
I have many many questions but realise you’re probably a busy person and have about a gazillion online acquaintances who are for-ever asking questions of you and praying on your time, so I will limit the questions heh
Firstly, what advice would you give to someone such as myself, who like you 8 yr’s ago was it? has just gotten their 1st Wacom tablet and copies of PS CS 2 & Painter IX.5 ?
The 2 applications in question are very daunting to me right now hehe, and I am very confused by allot of the settings within them, but I am slowly plodding along at my own pace and exploring as best I can.
At the moment things like resolution and the whole ppi and diameter size of canvases are very confusing lol; for instance, I don’t get how say a canvas of 250 by 352 at 96 ppi is smaller on screen inside PS CS 2 in size, than a canvas of the same size diameters but with 300 ppi?
That vexes me ALLOT heh, because to me I always thought that ppi simply meant that the bigger the value the more times a section of the canvas has been divided into more pixels i.e. a square gets divided into 4, then again into 8, then again into 16 etc, and if that is so then why one earth is the canvas getting bigger? in theory it shouldn’t and all that should be happening is the canvas is getting more pixels within via being divided and divided. lol
Anyways… as you can see I am very much the beginner, so I guess the most important question I would like to ask of you is what sources did you sue yourself when at the stage I am at right now, who were the artists that you went to looking for tutorials and inspiration, advice etc?
Thanks for the inspiration you give me and others, and congratulations on another wonderful piece of digital art work

The skin tones just glow on my monitor. Magical stuff. Reminds me a bit of the oil paintings of Donato Giancola. He does marvellous things with flesh tones also. Nice to see this sort of quality transferred to the digital realm.
Excellent stuff.
Cheers,

Increadible detail. The only thing that might make it beter is croping some of the left side of the image off, unless you need the face dead center like that.
Great stuff.

Absolutely beautiful; probably my favourite painting you’ve done. Does anyone know if this is in Expose 4? I’d love to see a higher resolution print, and I’ve pre-ordered the book.

I’ll be honest…i didn’t flick through all the fan (of which i am one) responses to see if this was covered.To me the third finger of the right hand is a little uniform, in that it’s hard to see the differentiation between finger segments…
I know it’s possibly a light and angle issue, but it just struck me that something was missing there…
Anyways, it’s a great piece and exceptionally made the previous comment is just a small thing I thought was a tiny bit off, not to sound like I only have criticisms, I just can’t be bothered going thorugh the encyclopedia of things that were great.

Whoa, extreme. Some might be flattered, others just freaked out. Let’s just remember it’s a person who made this artwork, however inspired it may be.

Your motif always capture the tingling imagination in the back of my head!
Next time you’re in Skellefteå… oh wait… nevermind… no one would ever want to go here without a terrible good reason!
