Artist's Comments

Should've given it a background color. I thought about an airbrush pic I saw some time ago and said: "Wait, this was all airbrush... so wouldn't it be neat to try something new?" So I went and did this. Ever seen something done completely from scratch with the SMUDGE TOOL, and only that? Yup, 100% smudge tool, one layer.

So you're probably thinking: "Hold up, the smudge tool only smudges colors together, right? So where'd the colors come from? You used the paintbrush!"

Nope. If you look closely you'll notice a little box at the top marked 'finger painting'. When this option is selected it allows you to smudge with the foreground color. Try it. And unless you count undoing and using the eyedropper to get colors, added with different pressure settings and modes, 100% smudged. I need a break from school already, and only it's just started...

That's pretty impressive for a picture done only with a smudge tool. Would be nicer if the eyes were a bit sharper though. :nod:

As I was sitting in my chair, I knew the bottom wasn't there. No legs or back, but I just sat. Ignoring little things like that. :wow:

Practise won't make perfect, but it'll get you much closer to it :nod:

thanks, I used only one layer on purpose. I tend to use a soft paintbrush for my shading, and sometimes blur tool. only use I have for smudging right now is mainly fur.
