  1. I sure do like this! You've probably already answered this question a billion times, but is this done in Painter? If so, you've done a great job making it look analog.

  2. Nate - thanks for the visit , this piece started as a drawing on Strathmore , inked with a japanese croquil pen, scanned then colored in Photoshop CS4 and you guessed it , Painter 11 .

    I think Painter does a better job of simulating traditional media , but I find it trickier to use than Photoshop. A lot more variables to play with.

    I probably just need to use/practice with it more to exploit it better ;-)

  15. Interesting that you picked her out, Dominic. She had to be one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, imo. But offhand, I can't think of a really great film she was in.
