Description
I finally started the tutorials in "Digital Character Design and Painting" by Don Seegmiller. It's an excellent book and I only regret that it's taken so long to get to it. It's opening a whole new way of using Painter 8.
I drew a sketch to closely match the one in the tutorial, scanned it into Painter and with the step-by-step instruction in the book had a good go at it.
All comments and suggestions are welcome. And thanks to all for previous comments as they are really appreciated.

It is a fine book indeed. Good for you and good job with this piece.
This is excellent - credit to you and the tutorial, by the sound of it. I like the balance you've struck between realism, caricature and fantasy. If I could rate this :-), I'd give it an 'excellent'.
This is really really nice work.I cant wait to get a Wacom tablety and try things like this.I am very impressed.
I recognized the Seegmiller tutorial--what impresses me is how close you got to the original--pretty impressive painting! And no matter what they say, Painter is not easy to control!
Nice painting, I'll have to look up that book ; ) You've done an excellent job on this!
This is freakin' cool!!! Wow, great job! Love the stylized character and you did such a nice job on painting her...bravo!
I've thumbed thru that book a couple of times, so don't recognize the tutorial at all. Interesting to see where all this leads ~

OH WOW !! THIS IS REALLY AWESOME AND FANTASTIC ART A MASTERPIECE you should submit this to the outside artworld.. i think it ROCKS!! WOWWWWW!!! totally COOL! to favs it goes. !! V! ) hehe, mann this would make a great book cover now you just have to write a story to with her charictor!! ))
you really have a lot of patience to be able to follow tutorials step by step... i would need bifocal glasses to do that just for a start...you really did a great job...it looks very profesional.... looks like a brand world for you...
I guess that is why I have failed to learn many programs I have tried because of little desire to read tuts. very freaky lady but excellent painting

WOW. I have been to his website. His work is fabulous. Thanks for the idea. lol. Still working my way through Painter 8 WOW. Outstanding work on this !! You are doing such wonderful work with Painter and it is one of the hardest programs I have tried to learn . Excellent !!!
You are doing right wonderful portrait and painting my dear friend really fantastic ,Beautiful artwork V
Superb distortions!! Love the look, like a Brian Froud faerie!!
Very interesting character with a real special looking face and expression! I love her long neck! LOL ***
The overall looks very pleasing. The thumbnail has almost tricked me that this is an oil painting and not a digital work.I do not know how close to the instructions you are, but this is irrelevant to me. It is a beautiful drawing.
Dude! you are sick! but I like it
