Learn a little bit about color theory (just enough to do palettes and harmonies etc. also reflective stuff)

your definitely improving demon lizardman. Your pictures usually lack color harmony or a nice palette. Try experimenting with colors a bit more. For example, right now you shaded his brown foot with another brown try mixing shading with other colors and just really experiment until you discover how to mix those colors. It really comes with a lot of experimenting and looking closely at other peoples work and the colors they chose. Don't be scared to fail just start painting with lots of different colors and see what happens. You sorta had it going with his head though you could probably push it more. His body and feet is where it turns back into that only brown coloring, mix in some blues or something in there.

you might find it beneficial to spend more time on basic form and color before getting so detailed. even if you're not doing line work, shape and definition is really important.

But what tool should I use? I use Photoshop CS4, I thought the paintbrush would be sufficient, but it's not working, any suggestion on what medium I should use?

You're missing half the fun of painting in photoshop if you're using the default brushes! Experiment with some of the other natural brushes in photoshop or make your own like so: http://duffzilla.deviantart.com/art/Making-Natural-Brushes-for-PS-34173506 With enough experimenting you'll soon find which types of brushes you like. |

I assume you've got a tablet? If you master the hard brush (the round one with hard edges, which only changes in opacity depending on how hard you press) you'll be well on your way. use that brush, and paint from photos (have a photo next to your scren / another document open in another window) http://characterdesigns.com/index.php?sitepage=photosets < great images to use for studies. |

I hope you're at least taking Hydro's comment into consideration, brush experimentation really hones your skills whilst using them. Pen raises a good point when suggesting you use that brush when doing your anatomical studies, but when working more creatively (not saying you CAN'T get creative with your studies) other brushes come in handy, especially when you want to achieve a more unique look with your piece. Good luck on the road to improvement!  (I may or may not have any idea what I'm saying. herp-a-derp.) |
