100 % paint.net from blank screen to finished image.
this is the large work size image prior to the final downsize of 800 high pixels
I do have the work in progress shots (some of them) on pg 74 of my paint.net gallery.

edit Jan 3 2010 I received quite a few comments re jaggies. They would have evened out in the intended final smaller size but they were annoying even in this work piece. So I've blurred out as many as I could no easy task on a flattened image at one and two pixel wide selections. so if I missed any let me know exactly where and if possible I'll get them fixed. IF POSSIBLE...
also for the little ray of sunshine that asked for a Tiara sorry not this image but I did add some sparkles to the head piece just for you.
I jazzed up the shoe as that was another area that needed some work. shiny shoe with a flower now.
sorry the table has to stay this way,,,too many cuts to adjust flattened picture.
and yes I did lighten the gown just a bit so the shading in the dress that took me ages shows more. and I also turned back on the layer where I lightened the hand on the chair.

library....
no truly I'm not joking. when I first started to learn I went to the childrens section of the library and asked for a how to draw animals book. the line drawings were step by step and I just translated them line by line on individual transparent layers on the screen. drawing?
also there are loads of good tuts on the internet. I most times if stuck look at one of them. If you look at my gallery at paint.net forum (pg 35) I did a humming bird and left a link to where I learned to draw it from the internet. That was a real good site.
If you are into drawing people one real good book I bought at Chapters is one by Jack Hamm on drawing people. It is one of the easiest and best I've found for beginners.
Just start simple when you try to color so you don't get discouraged. and I've found I try not to have any outlines around my images just makes them more realistic for some reason.
if you haven't joined the paint.net forum you should they have some real nice tuts on all sorts of things.

Its not perfect but I've not seen too many tackle this type of image yet. As I've said its not the program errors its my still learning to draw that distracts from this picture.
but I still surprise myself that I actually have learned to draw reasonalbly well, in just a few years with no training or classes at all.
thanks for looking Vern.
