This is a follow up from the last post. Thought I'd show the steps, so here it goes. I know I'm not breaking any new grounds or anything, this is just for fun. I just did close ups of the dog for this example.

1. For foreground elements I usually outline them first using a different brush that looks kind of like a paint brush with thicker paint. You can click on the images for a larger view. |
 |
2. Then I use the other brush I was talking about and fill in the flat colors. |
 |
3. Next, I rough in the shading and highlights using the same brush at 90% opacity. |
 |
4. Finally I smooth it out with the brush at 40% opacity and selecting colors back and forth between the middle colors and the highlights or shading. That's about it. |

Thank you for this series of posts! It was enlightening.
