Painting

One of my friend's announced that she had discovered new things about digital painting. She sent me the image that helped her and I was inspired to try some painting of my own. Here's a look at my wip image. I'm not happy with it. I'm in a constant war against my work looking like it was done digitally despite the fact that it is (since I dont know how to use physical paint >_>). I think it has to do with the fact that all of the edges are blurry and fuzzy. All of the images I like have distinct, specific edges to everything. I'll continue working on this tomorrow night. We'll see how it turns out.
