Geek art

Mixing colours is a pain, and certainly not easy or cheap to play with if you're trying to learn how they work. I'm gettin more and more frustrated with real painting and so rather than stop drawing I've caved in and started playing on the computer again. I tried ArtRage 2 for a while but just couldn't get anything I liked. Having not painted in Photoshop for months, I thought I'd give it another go. I set the brush mode to multiply and airbrushed this out in about 30 minutes.Yes, it is 'geek art', as a certain tutor would say, but it's fast and so much more fun to play with. When I start next semester I'm going to get back into painting digitally, although I also want to learn 'proper' painting too.
