perspective and water, i hate you

First thing: for some reason, The Postal Service's song "Nothing Better" reminds me of Fi and Link. Huh

It's photoshop right?

[derawr]

Yes, I'm working on it in photoshop. I don't really have any photoshop kung fu though.

What about the ruler tool or the pen tool?

[derawr]

This is kinda embarrassing, but I don't know how to use those. Don't even know where to find them. Do you know where to find tutorials for ps7?

Fix pillars.
Widen platform thing they are standing on. Maybe mess with angel a bit.
Water thing in bg maybe a little less narrow.

Put all new lines in new layer to make it less likely to mess up perfectly good lines...

Things underneath statue already fixed... Need to decide what I want to do with bird thing.

Look up tutorials on painting. Specifically painting water. Maybe stone too.

Light source comes from upper left area... Put in shading and stuff when paint.

Gorram typos.

Mmmkay.

Put in the platform thing details -- the weird abstract little squigglies and the Zelda symbol.

Center the picture more. Ghirahim and Link were drawn off center to start but it's not pronounced enough to seem intentional rather than wrong. Or maybe it will look right once I draw the durn platform.

Waterfall thing is driving me crazy. I won't go into details for the cliff walls because that will probably institutionalize me.

Draw random fish once I get into the painting. Make the colors like....really light? Not too heavy. Nothing too dark either. Make the shadows seem soft. Sun dappled! Maybe try to go for watercolor look. Idk how to describe it. I hope you remember, Dara, when you actually get into the painting part.
