Painter X - Joy? Heartache? Major Motion Picture P

Journal Entry: Thu Mar 22, 2007, 8:47 PM
Ok. I am officially confused and frustrated.
I recently picked up a copy of Painter X to play with. I've got a Wacom. And I'm not 'dumb' just 'unpracticed with it.

Ideally I'd like to achieve some of the same effects and style of pictures as I have faved... (Yes - that's why I fav folks btw. It's not just that I like what you do - it's that something in what you do is what *I* want to do. So I fav so I can look back at it later and study.)

So: [link]
And even more so: [link]

How in a guardinals fuzzy buttocks do you guys pull this off? I suspect it is something direly stupid simple that I'm missing. A particular brush choice that gets you on the right path, or layers of work that I don't *see* in the final.

Suggestions welcome on what this is.
