Hey, I'm new here so I was hoping to meet a few peeps who could help me progress in the world of art. Currently I'm a HS student in a IB HL Art program. In this program you create your own theme and develop finals through it. Most of the time, I draw my finals with markers or pencil. So, recently I decided that some of my finals will be 3D, maybe photoshop and some real paintings.
Now, the trouble I'm having. I'm familiar with many kinds of media, yet I don't know the best (real life) media to create photo-realistic finals. For example of one of my pieces- I would like to create a four winged angel, called Salene or Diana Lucifer. She is the greek goddess, also roman, for the moon and also titled the bringer of light. She'll be wearing a semi-transparent toga, blue, and here face will be curiously looking between her hands at a glowing orb. The moon will be showin in half the background. Anyways, I could go on lol, though that's boring. I'm new to using layers, like painting a base color then painting overtop. The idea is too be able to pull off a highly detailed picture, to imprint the picture in my mind onto paper.
Does anyone have any suggestions? :P

P.S. Sorry for the long reading lol
