Fair enough NG. I was just trying a new method of shading for this one. I agree with you on all the points.nice colors. They make the pic look pretty real. i would suggest much more intense shading. dont be afraid to choose darker colors for the shades because they just make the brighter colors look even brighter. Also, you shouldn't use other pics for your backgrounds. they ruin the pic if you ask me, and it also shows that you were not able to color the background.
if you managed to make this using those 3 tools, then it sounds good to me^^Fair enough NG. I was just trying a new method of shading for this one. I agree with you on all the points.
I did this colouring while only using the pentool,smudge tool and the fill tool.
