your banana is really good, when blocking in the colors use 100% opacity etc etc, that way you wont get unsaturated colors and bleh like in your first flower one. you were starting to blend etc etc

but the banana is very nice, although it looks like you went to tiny tiny brushes, try to stay at big brushs trokes and confident brush strokes. your colors are pretty good, althought i feel the contrast could be a little more possibly

ok cool, yeah I did use smaller brushes, I was afraid of it looking like I scratched in those parts.

do you have any recommended brush sizes for detailing?
I used 3-4 px hardbrush with 70 medium diameter, spacing set to 1, airbrush, smoothing

3-4 px brush??n way to small..... just go biggggggggg

wont it look all blurry and blocky if you dont use a smaller brush?

this might help for this situation

awesome =)

thank you

Cant tell if srs. 45 min to an hour. And I do realize thats still a long time, but I have almost exclusively painted in BW (pencil for the most part) up until now.

Took a couple minutes and fixed a couple things. Still bad.

how many layers do you have?
