How cool! What a feeling of something it gives me. I´m not sure whether what I am feeling is lonliness or peace, it brings out some kind of emotion anyway, and is lovely to look at. :)

Thank you Vafann. I did the pen tool exercise then iDad and Paul told me I couldn't stop there; had to give her a backdrop. So I did. It doesn't showcase the work but the solitude of the setting seemed right for her. I could have cropped it tighter but wanted the scene. And anyway, Paul showcased it for me, lol.

Thank you Senior S! I know the spots look kind of like they are floating on the body, but I didn´t know how to fix it, I will try to do what you have suggested, as soon as I understand what "putting all dark spots in one group and using main shape as mask to it" means lol. (not what it means, I understand what it means, I just don´t know how to do that lol.) :)

Those dark spots you have in one shape or in many?
If in one shape then you can add raster mask to it. If there is many spots then in Layer panel take select all those shapes and holding CTRL+SHIFT click on group icon in layer panel. That will creat a new group and put selected layers in it. And to that group you can give mask.

Actually it's good sometimes to start with making such group for elements which are suppose to be on/in something and not go out of object.
In your case you could be not precise with spots where it comes to sides. You could just let shape go out snake and mask would cut that part off.

Can't explain better. If it still not makes sence then i can make some image to preview that.

Thank you Senior S! Yes I have the spots on many layers. I will try to do what you said. :)
 
Oket, let's start with easy one (not tracing, made from a ground zero).
Shapes&effects (no brush envolved):
daisy2.png

Allways wanted to paint a daisy and now i did it. Be care what you wish for :)

Resume, i so have to take painting course!
Common it's just a daisy for god sake how hard it can be!?!
I don't say it is mutant. It's okey. But it's NOT okey at the same time.
Meaning petals is okey but leafs...:banghead:

But it's the art and i say that's the way i see it and that's exactly how i wanted it to make :)

What do you mean? I think it´s great! :)
 
Common guys (and ladies) how you can't see it, in overall it is bad, bad, bad.
I'm not complaining. Okey i'm am but not in the way "please say i'm wrong and i'm good". I know it mostly luck of painting practise and knowing theory of painting. Which looks happens to be very important with irregular, "live" objects. To make spaceship is easier (more time comsuming but still easier) i think.

Paul, if you know how to paint then it is easy. Just make shape and play with colors and layer styles. Theoretacly that's it. Worst part is painting and understand lights, shadows and something that make object look real. I obviously don't know that. If you give it a try you'll probably sucseed.


And, of course, thank you both for good words!


P.S. Everything is okey, i'm cool :)
 
P.S.
Don't even bother asking me what it is, i just free formed it lol.
