I've come a loooong way since my very first digital sketch five years ago.

Frogzilla Digital Illustration Final
After a lot of reading and a few tutorials and some road blocks i finally have my first ever full page digital illustration about 95% done!!! It took about twenty hours but most of that was just the learning curve and trying to be extra careful so I wouldn't accidentally lose lots of progress. I'm REALLY loving how quick and simple it is to make changes to color and or value. I'm hoping having digital under my belt will make my art more appealing to publishers as i plan to begin a more vigorous marketing campaign.

Well done Matthew! It's inspiring for my own efforts in the opposite direction of learning hand techniques coming from a digital background. Feels like paddling upstream, but the effort seems validated by how great your digital art looks with all of your traditional experience as a foundation.
Thanks for your comment! I'm planning to post a couple more of my digital pieces soon. I've always preferred traditional mediums like oil and watercolor and acrylic but for the past five years I have felt like I've lost out on various job oportunites because i didn't have digital capabilities. I've always used PS for editing and such but not for final art until recently. Mostly money has kept me from going digital but I finally decided to just go for it with the junk computer, tiny wacomb tablet and PS elements that I currently have. Afteral when i started painting i had plastic bristle brushes and cheap paper!
I can only imagine the difficulties you must be facing going from digital to traditional. I'll bet you'lle find it to be plenty of fun though.
