After all, we have a variety of skin colors on Earth, so why should differing colors on Barsoom be a problem?<br /><br />One problem with acrylics or oils is finding a workspace where you can make a mess. My grandmother tells me that the garage is always a good spot, but that means moving some of the boxes out of the way to make space for an easel. That, and some people are allergic to the chemicals in paints. <br /><br />What did you find confusing about acrylics? Whenever I read about them, I am bewildered by the array of paints, binders, solvents, and who knows what else- I can't help but wonder if the big advantage of digital is avoiding the chemical laboratory and getting down to painting right away. As I said, the tool is just an extension of the artist, and you should use whatever works best for you.<br /><br />Christopher PhoenixAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485186904036189067.post-49652682922623336682012-05-20T19:52:19.425-07:002012-05-20T19:52:19.425-07:00Thanks, Christopher.

The funny thing is since this is intended for us Jarsoomers, the challenge is finding a color that is true to the story, yet appeals to us pale folk.<br /><br />I actually prefer the look of analog media, but as you said, it's all up to the artist to make it work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037325015877368446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485186904036189067.post-57580134339176406012012-05-20T19:47:39.915-07:002012-05-20T19:47:39.915-07:00Hi Christopher.

Sign of the times, I suppose- nothing wrong with that, though. It is the artist that counts, not the tool. <br /><br />Personally, I wish to learn to use a variety of traditional mediums- digital painting is cool, but smeary stuff is just fun. I find using actual physical tools helps loosen me up. I've always used pencils and colored pencils from early childhood, and I hope to explore watercolor, gouache, and acrylics.<br /><br />By the way, I really like your rendition of Dejah Thoris. I've seen some paintings of Dejah that show her being as white as John Carter, but the book described her having a pleasant copper-reddish color, just as you painted.<br /><br />Christopher PhoenixAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
