For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.

rose in ArtRage
I’ve been playing around in ArtRage and I followed the rose tutorial to produce this image:
Just imagine, if I can produce that, what can the actually talented artists out there create! Haha, I don’t have any particular skill with painting, but that was fun to produce. The tutorial came with a photo of a rose that I traced and painted to follow along in the tutorial, so I’ll have to try that technique with my own photos next.
Update: aaaand here’s the result of me painting Susie, Jon’s dog:
This one was based off of this photo. I think perhaps I need to tone down the shadow on this one; the 20% setting suggested in the rose tutorial looks too dark on the background I’ve made for Susie. Also, crazy stuff happened with her feet. I think I gotta get better at details if I’m going to do dogs or people; the rose lent itself better to big brush strokes. As you can tell from the ArtRage galleries, I’ve got a long way to go.
