RiotGun painted

DeviantArt was in read only mode when I wanted to upload the previous deviation, yesterday, and photoshop was still active, so I tried to make a colored version of the previous deviation. I've never done anything with color so this too is a first for me. I used photoshop CS and a logitech MX1000 mouse to color it so I'll have to rest my hand for a while now, because it's almost falling off...

And then when I uploaded the pen-drawing of the guns, DeviantArt in read-only modus again! I finished this thing yesterday, but couldn't upload it! How lame!

Please help me improve my skills, because I'd like to get better at painting (digitally)

Well this will be the last gun for a while, don't want people to think I'm gun-crazy or something like that

Tools: original pencil-drawing, photoshop, Logitech MX1000
