This is my first experiment with Corel Painter. It's actually just another of my pencil portraits (you can see the original on my website) but I've been using Painter's astonishing toys to give it the look of a painting... well, more like an ink sketch I suppose.
You can't really see much difference at this size, but it has produced a really nice effect, different to the graininess of the pencil and all "painted" stroke-by-stroke rather than just a one click Photoshop-style effect, so it still feels like I created it.
Amazing, technology today! I want to go over all my drawings now but my eyes are complaining too much!
