Description
This is Tinara, the Pinaku Warrior, who's out on afternoon patrol in the Colaka Forest.
Photoshop 6.0 with just paintbrush and eraser tools...
The entire picture is drawn from scratch without use of any references, pretty much just to see if I could. Was an interesting experiment and while there are parts I'm not happy with, I think it came out okay.
This picture is dedicated to che18530 who's great sketches inspired me to do one of my own in a different format than I'm used to. Thanks Cheryl...

shad another beautiful pic :)
Marvelous and very realistic portrait..lovely..
What a wonderful sketch! See you do have it in you!! I really like the freckles on the nose, since I have freckles. Great work on shading and detail. Do another one!
Very nicely done. I really like it. Good work.
Beautiful work! I like her freckles and the smile on her face. You did a beautiful artwork!
You have nice skill of 2D. 2D work is basic and very important skill for 3D. I like to see the next of dolphin picture. Cheers.
Very nice pic,great light and shadows,keep up the good work:)
You do amazing work with your Wacom :) Will you make her into a series ? Hint, Hint, Nudge, Nudge!
Beautifully done Master Shad!! I think you should venture into the unfamiliar more often, you have a gift!
I knew darn well you had it in you Shadow my friend. Anyone who can handle a blank page and a digital tablet like you can - would certainly be able to do portraiture without reference. Dedicating this lovely image to Cheryl was also a great gesture. I did likewise with my last post of "Dead or Alive" - so Cheryl's wonderful sketches have inspired a few of us. I'm proud of you Shadow - your work and skills just keep on improving.
WOW!!! Simply excellent beyond words! Dang I wish I could do that! I guess I'll just have to leave it up to you and have the pleasure of being in constant awe! LOL
Wonderful!! Good grief...I wish I could use PS like this! ;o)
wow this turned out great...
Very good handling of Photoshop and a great painting. You say this is the first time you do this in Photoshop? WOW I'm greatly impressed. The technique is flawless.
