Fall Leaves are Finished

Well, I finally finished playing Empire Earth the other day. Now that that's out of my system, I can get back to work.

I spent about 11 hours on the fall leaves picture. I'm afraid the scan didn't pick up the metallic sheen on it, which is more noticable from an angle. The metallic paints are very transparent, just as I thought, so it was a good thing I painted it in acrylics first. I might try to do something with them alone one of these days. But for now I think I want to spend some time just working on my drawing skills.
