Quest for Improvement

Coltrane's been my first serious character ever created. He's been basically heavily inspired by Anne Rice's characters (I was 18), but he's evolved and I believe he got a really strong and unique personality. My main problem is: I can't portray him. He's always changing looks and that's because I cannot paint what's inside my head. That does not happen with my other characters tho, it's just his case, which is kind of frustrating.

Anyway, on to the technique. I wanted to do something else rather than the crosshatching, so I searched for skin brushes and this is the result. As I abused Photoshop and not Painter for first time in years, this portrait looks way too digital. I have mixed feelings towards this -I kind of feel like I cheated-, but I'll let you decide wether I'm improving or not. I decided I'll try out more things as I was getting tired of my current technique which I think was leading nowhere.

Photoshop CS3, Painter 7 and X

Awesome Skin Brushes:

Edit: I couldn't sleep so after reading crits and suggestions I went back and fixed some things, mainly the eyes.

I feel like I've done him wrong somehow. The look in his eyes is just so intense... and accusing. The shade of his lips just adds to it, as it looks like he has taken a beating just now..

Love the intensity.
