Don't go chasing waterfalls (RIP Left Eye)
So this is the first speedy done in Painter; I'm trying to get a feel for everything as I'd like to start using it more than Photoshop for speedpainting. The tools are pretty overwhelming, but I suppose it's just a matter of finding the brushes that suit you best. Again from reference.

Very nicely done, Stewie! Have you tried recording your painting sessions? I've found it as a great tool to catalog your work and as a learning stepping stone. For instance, record yourself and make a running commentary in your head as you watch it and take note of what you could do better, improve on, and what you did well during that session. What I use is CamStudio. It's free and does a great job of recording what's on your monitor!
Also, when recording yourself... you get the feeling that someone's watching. With that sensation, you'll (or at least for me) work a little more broadly and not hover with details. It's almost like a contest or race with yourself. You'll want to make it look good at every step of the way, which will improve on your overall "general -> specific" work flow.
i wouldn't have guessed this was your first in Painter... very nice!
