Cheers, Christy.

Balancing the colours is something that I seem to find quite easy, possibly because of my day job.

[Tangent Queen]

OK, then - I'm curious... How do you spend your days?
You don't have to answer that, of course, but you mentioned it...

[em...]

I'm a graphic designer by profession, so choosing colours that work together to give the right feel is important to that.

[Tangent Queen]

Well, whatever it is, it's workin' for ya, no doubt! Stick with it!
Cheers back, Euan!

Beautiful painting -- Knightley is a peach.

I'd really love it if you could include more technical details about Photoshop for each step. That is, in addition to the "what" info ("I added some color ..."), please enhance with details about "how" (using which tools, brushes, pens and so on in Photoshop).

Any extra info is greatly appreciated, and would really flesh out your tutorial! Thanks again for all the work,

slegge
