Digital Painting Tips For Beginners

Madonna Sebastien-Digitally Painted by me

Hello Guys,
               This time its not blender its all about Digital Painting. A few weeks back i attended a workshop on Digital Painting.It was nice and i came to know about the digital painting concept.They taught digital painting with very basic apple.After that i understood the concepts somewhat on started painting on my own. I took the same apple and started the painting and the result was very bad since its the first time(ahhh it was very bad). So i started practicing practicing and practicing, i got some bad results(that's okay). After lot of tries i took one of my friend's picture as reference and started painting that image.
      
                I started painting slowly and carefully and finished the painting in 22 hours(approx), and i was happy with the results(simply i loved it). Then i started to think on my next project and i saw a beautiful picture of the premam girl Madonna Sebastine(she's just awesome <3) and i was thinking of painting her, and i started painting her and the process goes on, i started with the basic outline, then goes the mid-tones,lights and shadows,then the blending and finally the final touch and i finished the painting and i learned some important things while painting and result came well, i got many appreciations from friends.The result is at the top take a look at it .
