I am taking requests now.
I have recently figured out the correct way of scanning higher resolutioned images and am going to scan most of earlier works through this new scanning.
Hope they'll turn out better.
By the way, I 've long badly wanted to color some of my works, using nice digital illustration tools!
Nowadays a number of good friends on this site, even devoted traditional artists, seem to be adding digital painting effects to their technical recipes or even completely switching to the art form.
I'm interested in the media but completely novcice at and I don't know much about it.
What I'd like to do is not the digital painting from scratch but to first create my usual color pencil/pastel rendering and then add some effects digitally to improve details, strengthen realism & vividness of colors etc.
Would somebody be kind enough to teach me how to, or tell me ideal(and free :]) softwares for the purpose??
Thanks a lot in advance!!!
Best regards,
