Blue Mandarin

Well I suppose its about time I actually ATTEMPT digital painting (no matter how shitty it starts) rather than staring at the works of my favorite artists online and not doing anything for myself.

For my first real exercise, I googled a picture of my favorite fish and experimented for a few hours. No; I am not happy with the result. Yes, I am satisfied with it considering that it is merely a starting point from which I hope to improve gradually.


The style of this piece was heavily influenced by one of my favorite artists on deviantart, :iconpurplekecleon:.
She posted a color theory Flash presentation that is very helpful, and if you are having trouble with color, I highly recommend you check out that tutorial.
