Ctrl+Paint Vase Study

If you want to learn how to paint in photoshop, and you haven't yet, you must head over to http://ctrlpaint.com Matt Kohr is the author of the site, and tons of really concise, clear, well-thought-out instructional videos. While it is mostly free, he does have some "premium content" stuff that is a whopping $10 per lesson. This is an exercise from one of those, called Basic Rendering. Matt did a drawing of the vase, I rendered it. Pretty obvious, but just in case: reference is on left, painting on right ;)

This was a pretty big turning point for me in learning to paint digitally, and I can't thank Matt enough for his generous teaching.
