HELEN Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 That's pretty cool. If you want, keep the original scanned-in image on a separate layer, and trace over on a separate layer. Thay way, you won't see the paper and keep the original image.

oma Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 better ! I'm liking you getting into more sophisticated coloration. using the more button beside the color wheel instead of just the set colors in the original paint.net pallet. now lets see if you can work on using multiple layers and adding to this image. perhaps try a duplication layer of what you have here. set top one to additive and then use edges. on the top one do another whirl/twist. at a different setting. one secret I find is a full of depth abstract takes time. I tend to do maybe 4 or 5 things, get up and leave the computor for about an hour or two or three then come back and look at it again. Most times my abstracts take about a week to do. ciao OMA Quote  My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazar Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Gee thanks oma. I will follow your advice.

oma Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm sure you will most likely be better in time. Don't forget you have the advantage of starting to draw at a much earlier age, I only started on computor a little over 2 years ago. :wink: Its just practice, have an open mind to tips and critiques. Also one way to really improve is to hand draw on paper as well, if you don't already . I found my paint.net skills really improved after I started doing that as well. ciao and I'll be watching, I don't always leave a comment, but I try to make it to everyones gallery at least once a week.

Malazar Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Thanks LFC4EVER and oma my first 2 posts are hand-drawn and uploaded into the computer. I just played around with them on PDN. Also oma what did you mean by use edges on the top layer when you replied to "Firestorm".

oma Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 effects>stylize>edge detect. I'm fairly certain its a standard item and not a plug in but I could be wrong. that was just a suggestion. you could try other things. its just to let you know you need more to this one. don't stop yet! this picture isn't done. ciao :wink: run with it experiment. remember there's always the back up button if you don;t like what its done... I use that a lot. Quote  My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazar Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Excellent advice oma. A quick update on "Firestorm" I have made a stunning breakthrough. I will continue to piece together this master piece. And once it is completed I have a stunning announcement.
