Loukus: First and foremost, please don't post such huge images if the brush size is 80 pixels large... downscale the image so we can see the image better... that might also help YOU see what you're drawing.

You're probably just starting out and that's fine, but one thing you should also learn are certain rules about color. Grass is green, but it's not RGB 0,255,0 green. Water is not blue, but does reflect the sky which might be, and that again is not RGB 0,0,255 blue. It's VERY important to look at the subtleties in color, and not just draw what you generally think the colors are. Perhaps some exercises in repainting pictures MIGHT help... (for a small while, long enough for you to understand that subtlety is very important).

Method-wise, you should work at lower resolutions if your not going to refine your work like that. I know it says it's better to work in high-res on goodbrush.com, but that's only if you need refining an image, which is a level you are not yet at (no offense). Take it one step at a time, you'll get there. The areas you're painting in also should more or less be of uniform color, and then work in that area by adding 10% opacity brushes to get it to look a little better... if you have a tablet, pressure sensitivity is the key, and helps out tremendously.

Good luck with your future work.

ermm... yeah sorry bout that my desktop resolution is typically pretty high.

Now uh.... opacity. when your talking about 10% opacity brushes, what color should they be? black/white for shading, and assorted colors for details err, what?

i would use darker and lighter tones of the colour to shade. useing black and white to shade is not usually the best thing to do. hope that helps
