I painted with my mouse, because I just bought BlackInk and the tablet I ordered didn't arrive yet.
I already love this program.
edit: i uptaded it slightly, removing some sharp edges in the clouds

I don't think I will greatly improve with a tablet, I bought it mainly to be able to paint faster than with the mouse.
I'm just starting to learn things, I didn't paint much before in my life.
For this picture, I used a lot of image-based color for the explosion.
It was mostly made with the Tail brush (for those pointy little sparks), and with the Dots brush to create the background smoke and some highlights with the "Screen" blending method.
I think everyone could recreate that - nothing too fancy.
Currently I'm trying to learn to chose and mix nice colors on my own, but as I said, I just started painting and still need a lot of reference and tips I guess.
