Corel Painter is my new favourite program

I had this sketch hanging around, so I scanned it in and tried to colour it with Corel Painter.

Started this yesterday, worked on it for 6 hours today, and just now finished it. I think my hand's going to fall off.

I think I'm starting to get used to using tablets. Can't stand the sound of the pen as it glides over the tablet though. Gives my goosebumps! :shock:

Woah, that really does look like a painting. I'm gonna have to look into that program!

Yeah, it's a good program, and it has an advantage over real painting, which is an undo button! :wag:

That's the program I use, remember?
I recommend it too. (Though I hardly ever paint stuff like VF's pic there because my processor gets too bogged down.)

I have corel painter too, got it free from the school. However my tablet is sooo small that it is useless in this program. a 4x5 isn't that useful compared to a much larger one. At school I used a much larger tablet and made this is corel painter using the ink tools. The background was made in photoshop.

I use a 4x5 tablet. It works, but it was really hard for me to get used to it. Oh well, maybe someday I'll upgrade.

One day, I'll learn to paint rather than just tagging buildings with a can of car-spray.
