Just dumping a couple of new things here. I was messing around with foliage stuff in this program called Paintstorm - the way it handles color blending is amazing, probably the best I've ever seen in a paint program, but because you can adjust adjust so much of the brush settings, the UI is a little overwhelming to me. I've seen a lot of really great art made with it though, so maybs just some more practice is all I need.
And I did some anatomy work, because you can never do too much anatomy work.
