Tatsurou

woo first submission. >_> My first realistic Photoshop painting, done about five months ago. Of course I had to choose the almighty Tatsurou for my subject; he's really fun to draw, especially with his old-school freakysmudgy makeup. This is one of my favorite drawings, even now when I can see tons of mistakes. Like the fact that I screwed up even the shape of his face D:

Maybe I'm just slow, but painting in Photoshop is really awkward. I still haven't established a way to arrange the painting and the reference pic... I usually have a half of the Photoshop window dedicated to each, but I wonder if there's a better way.
