Like I've mentioned, not straightforwardly but yes, i'm picking up art and design studies. Just wanted to add a simple process of how things work especially digital drawings.
I would preferably lower the opacity of the background colour (the wonders of digital painting for doing something that traditional painting can't). Then I would just tone everything. Now it DOES take a long time, so patience is important if you want a more detailed and fancy outcome, also depending on your skills. Mine took about 3-4 hours for the entire art.
SOFTWARE:
If you're wondering what I use for illustrating everything it would be Paint Tool Sai. you can also do sketches or painting in CS5 but I personally like to use Paint Tool Sai first because it felt more "real life painting". Don't forget you can download brushes off from the internet but usually I just use what I've got.
TABLET INFO:
What did I use to draw? well... tablet of course.
I get lots of people asking me which BRAND is better, and what SIZE of tablet should they buy.
Honestly, you can buy ANY tablet you want, whatever size that pleasures you too, as long it's from WACOM brand. Because they specialize in producing very quality tablet, even the smallest or cheapest one. To be more specific, mines Wacom Bamboo, smallest size (about 20ish cm), only pen pressure. I don't exactly remember how many sizes right now, but I know there's one that's very huge (about the size of A3 paper) costing about RM1000-ish (Malaysian currency), and there are people telling me if they should get that one. In my opinion, go for the smallest one first. It's less pricey (about RM270-300). It's very VERY convenient, you can bring it anywhere to draw. I've been using for about 3-4 years now, have a few pen scratches on the surface but it's still good. The size may be small, but it's still compatible to your computer screen. A few practice to getting used to it then you're fine to draw anything. I mean, you can still get the large one if you want to.
