Newfound respect for digital painters

Description

Forced myself to paint using Adobe Photoshop instead of PaintToolSAI...and I must say that it's more difficult than I thought :U How on earth does one blend colours smoothly in Photoshop with just brushes without using the Smudge Tool or Mixer Brush tool? :faint: Even though I've dabbled in digital painting before (*cough* Purple Motion - Satellite One by JemiDoveSuddenly, lineless by JemiDove), this is my first serious attempt, which is also my first attempt at painting in Photoshop instead of SAI. SAI is SUPER EASY to blend colours in with just brushes. It's like a luxury compared to PS, where I was constantly varying the amount of pressure I put into my  pen to make the transition from light to dark colours as smooth as I could :ohnoes:

Also...I sorta did all of Sonic'c colouring (base colours AND rendering) on one layer, so I struggled with keeping his face, fingers, socks and shoes from mixing with each other out of shape >w< Maybe that's why this took so long. Had a hard time trying to make everything look 3D without the help of lineart too. Gotta learn up some advanced colour theory - pretty sure the different-coloured surfaces won't always reflect the colour of the light which shone on them (reddish light).

Any comments would be much appreciated.



Time taken: about 13 hours? Sketch took 10 minutes only and was sketched on my preparatory work for my first final assignment (lol oxymoron) for my Design Fundamentals module at school. (didn't erase the sketch so I bet my teachers saw it ahahaha) See the top of my art dump for the sketch: fav.me/d7y097u
