@[b]rainbowsorknives[/b] Oh, thanks so much. 

I guess I'm so brushy because I'm a total noob at digital painting. I still haven't totally gotten used to using the tablet, so my lines feel pretty wobbly. When I'm looking at something I'm going to paint, I'm not really looking for lines, but shapes and their relationships, so that's probably the biggest thing. It feels like I'm just flicking with my wrist and my hand is really tense. I'm used to being much more loose, and drawing with my elbow. 

Didn't have a good painting day today, but I did one little study. Another John William Waterhouse. Its probably really clear in this that I'm looking at general shapes more than anything else. If I was going to do a full master study, I'd probably do some preparatory measurements.

Ah dude i think its great, it really gives your work a traditional look :) looking forward to seeing how it develops as you get more used to working on a tablet, good luck bro
