So this is a painting of a really nice angle of Chicago. I got the original photo (http://tinyurl.com/pwdno6e) from tripadvisor. I traced the outlines in photoshop, and I pretty much winged the majority of this painting. The sky is completely different than the original photo. It was too cloudy and boring, so I made the sky unrealistically have a bunch of stars in a city... who cares if it's unrealistic, it's cool. How I colored the buildings was really tedious, I used the water dropper to get the color of the building from the original photo. The buildings' colors were... interesting, but once they were all together, I liked how they turned out. The biggest thing I winged it on was the windows. I just drew window shapes on the buildings at random, but trying to keep somewhat of a pattern. I had to outline the painting a lot to make the buildings stand apart from each other... also because I just like outlines...
Overall, I really liked how this came out, and using Wacom tablets was cool, but I had... problems with them.
