After you have it scanned in you can start painting in the basic background. It helps to duplicate your drawing layer and place it over your background with a low opacity so you can see where you are painting.
Well most would not guess, but I'm a true blue country boy. I grew up on a farm in a little place called Shenandoah Valley. I loved it, it was great fun and I had all sorts of adventures on 150 acres of land with my friends. My family raised beef cattle and grew all the feed for them, and we were pretty self sufficient. I had a lot of fun there but I felt it was time for a change and moved to Richmond, plus I wanted to be an art major, so it seemed natural. I also feel traveling is very important and teaches one a lot so I really enjoy it and Richmond has a lot of different types of places and people a country boy as I didn't get to see growing up.
