Had a go at making my first ever digital painting, using a wacom also for the first time, was a bit weird getting used to it so i had a go tracing a picture and colouring it. For a first attempt I thought it turned out ok so I wanted to share it. I could have made it look cooler by removing the black lines but I only thought of putting the black lines on a new layer after I was half done

 

It's awesome! But I'm wondering, how'd you make the gif flash like that, I would like to use that for a head lmao.

The flash in my gif isnt intentional, it's just the first frame that has a background since it was the reference photo.

In your case i think you just get your head and invert colours on the secound frame or so, and when it plays it will look like your head flashes I think  

Looks pretty good, but shading seems inconsistent around the helmet area. Feels like it's pillow shaded, esp. the right side.  

Looks like it was drawn by a graal player. Nuffsed.
