Paints 2.0

New painting thread. Old was was so busted from dead links that nothing made sense anymore.
I've been learning to do digital work, my daughter is quite talented and I bought a Wacom tablet for her, but she preferred her cheaper Huion tablet instead because it's bigger. So I kept the Wacom, and asked her to show me how to set it up for painting. It's quite the learning curve, coming from oil paints.
Anyway, I managed to do some things. Attaching low-res versions, the "real" ones are fucking huge files and this board doesn't need them.
This one I started last night, and I didn't like it. Felt too smooth and digital, so after talking to my daughter I managed to "chunk it up". This one turned out better than my previous attempts at pure-digital painting.
This one is a mixed media thing. Started out as photo paper that I painted developer on. I scanned that, upped the contrast and sharpness to pull out the lines, then went to work drawing on top of it. I think it turned out okay.
