Pen tool? You've got the patience of a saint... lol...

Sleeping bear looks good.

Add a bit more detail to the grass/background. And darken the shadows a bit more on the bear to make it stand out a bit.

Tnx mate.. this was just first try of using pens.. i need better idea for using it
tnx on advice

 

[dv8_fx]

Youre on the right track with it.

 

[Skid]

Tnx bro.. if you have some ideas for my other "paintjob" tell me

How are you getting that blended paint effect?

I was unaware that you could get that with Ps brushes.

Maybe you could make the bear look a little more realistic.

Agent:for blending i use two shades of same color then smudge..
barnnet: i know what you think but i dont know how to make it more realistic..

This looks EPIC! Must have taken a loonnnggg time to make! Nice work there, and nice idea to smudge two colors together

Now, some tips...

-Try and improve the sun... This one isn't really round
-Add a shadow to the bear... currently it looks like it's flying!

i will try to make some shadows to the bear tnx NamanyayG

 

[NamanyayG]

The shadow could be where you thought to make it more realistic, but couldn't get how to...
It happened to me a lot when I copy-pasted people to different backgrounds, I forgot the shadow a first few time.

i dont wanna mess around with this pic i will make something better.. this was just first time and i wanna show it to you mates

 

[NamanyayG]

Yea i am using PS for 3 weeks and yesterday i start with drawnings and i really like it lol

 

[Skid]

I think i am better in sketching then coloring lol.. (i really like bears lol ) comment and critique

 

[dv8_fx]

Like I said, your doing pretty well with the pen tool.

Here's a thought ..... you said sketching. Pen and Paper? Then why not scan your sketches, touch up the drawing in PS by converting the drawing to a work path and smoothing the lines.

Then color in Photoshop.

I like your bear drawing btw.

Cool.

i have little problem. my scaner is dead.. :S
