Digital Painting

Today I decided to practice digital painting. A couple of days ago I finished the line art for the painting, and scanned it in today. I spent about 4 hours painting but nothing was satisfactory to me. I then decided to go back and start from scratch, this time cleaning the line work more accurately. I think I need to find a better way to clean scans in Photoshop though, it was very time consuming for me. I will start working on the painting again tomorrow.

Here is the scanned line art (before clean-up):



After I cleaned up the line work I began to colour in the midtones. I then started experimenting with the different features of Photoshop to get this piece, called Tidal Wave.
