Oh great Jean. Would you please tell me how you use Painter X to make such excellent things. I only use photoshop to create digital ones. Is it difficult to work in Painter X. I never really tried on Painter X:)

[justjean]

Barsha :) This was done in Painter IX.5, I have 10 but as I like IX.5 I still use it , I mostly use the clumpy brush , I think the best way to learn the program is to play with the brushes and their different settings till you find some that seem to work best for you and then practice, practice and then a bunch more practice I also have PS but never bothered to lean it as I was more interested in a painting program and for that I don't think you can beat Painter :D

Nice work Jean... You talk about using clumpy brushes in your art work...Are they something you made yourself. I don't find clumpy brushes in any of my Corel painters. I think defining how we make our paintings and steps very helpful to others. :)

That's beautiful justjean. Love the way you did the hair and expression.

I'll have to second Gray539. Good hair and a good sense of life in the boy.

You should give it a try. You can download a free trial version from Corel.com
:)

I love it, but I need to start using it a lot more!

Lucy you must be missing some things in your Painter discs because the clumpy brush has been there for at least ver 8, 9 and 10. It is in the Artists Oils :D
