Very cool style. I love how the rough lines create detail!

Thanks. :)

this is so awesome D:

teach me how to use painter ):
I could never figure out what brushes I should use D:

Thanks.

Sure!
(But seems you already know how to use it.)
Try everything, then use the ones you like most. :]

Try a cover+blend paper-responsive brush like oil pastels.
Then try the same with less blend - regular pastels.
Try scratchboard rake.
Try the blenders (I don't use them, but some people like to blend).
Try digital watercolors.
Try digital ink and watercolors - i hate the fact they work on different kind of layers, but they're fun to play with.
Artist's oil too.
Then (if you have an intuos) - angle-responsive kinds like pallete knife, airbrush, oil (some are responsive to tilt, can't remember which ones exactly), markers, etc.
Etc.
For short - everything.

Then try modifying them throught Ctrl+B.

Most importantly - have fun.

Don't hesistate to ask if you have any questions - I'll help if i can. :]

# copying photographs is a good way to learn about lighting.

I have yet to go through the rest of your gallery, but seeing this makes me even more interested in what else will come from you.

Thanks.

When you draw something, the lengthiest things of all are decisions, and looking at your own work.

But still, you got a really nice mood here, not strong, but effective. X3

Good point. Thanks.

And yes, mood is slowly dissapearing from my works.
Kind of make me think i'm progressing backwards

When you'll start concentrating onto the technical bits too much and use them for your final work - that's going backwards. I'm doing that..

Just keep your nose up, you have plenty pf potential. Damn good painter, you be!

very nice, love the city in the background

This is really cool.
