I painted this image today. I'm still messing around with those brushes I got, though there seem to be only a handful that are really useful to me. I'm also attaching a quick image strip showing how curves can affect a painting. I absolutely love color, but I know I kind of suck at painting it and coming up with color palettes - so I've learned to embrace PS and its adjustment layer goodness. This may seem like an evil sin to some, but I've learned over the last 2 months of digital painting for work that it doesn't matter how it gets done (as long as it doesn't infringe on copyrights) just get it done good, and fast! Though I feel it is very important to watch what adjustment layers (in general) are doing and learn from them.
The top image in this strip was my original, though I will admit I had done a very similar curves layer halfway through or so. My image ended up being a mix of 2, 3 and 5. I'm not sure I made the right choice here, but I'm not too worried about it.
