Description

Full view recommended. This is the first ever digital painting that I've managed to finish and the first real time I've drawn completely from my imagination. Spent more time on it than I'd care to admit, mostly due to unfamiliarity with the medium. Spent a lot of time going through Feng Zhu's videos on YouTube, so this is mostly an exercise to try and put some of the things I've picked up from those into practice and actually have a go at doing a few of these. Any critiques and suggestions for how to improve in future projects would be awesome!

Having some trouble with the values on this when viewing it on different monitors (the LG screen I work on seems to display colours and contrast levels differently to many others I try), but settled on this one for levels/curves settings as it seems to look close to intended on my monitor, as well as an iPhone and iPad. I'd appreciate it if anyone could let me know if foreground is dipping too much into the 'black' range so I know which screens to trust when doing this sort of thing or if there are any tricks for getting around this problem!

This is a place of much needed thinking which transpires best in absolute solitude! I'd visit there to be by myself and see what would be housed in my internal man! :faint: :nod:
