I Started Playing with my Christmas Present

[mlomaka]

I got a new scanner for Christmas, and my brother stopped by to give me some pointers on Photoshop, and between the two I am happy with the results. I still need a lot of practice, but they are starting to look more like the original (a problem I have had and mentioned elsewhere on the forum.). Now I just need to tweek the monitor a bit to adjust the colors a bit, and I will be set to go. Here is a sample of what I did the other night. These are just quick color samples (no background yet, or very clean.). Thanks for all the advice I have recieved from so many people here.

Great job Mike

Photoshop is one of the easier softwares out there to use.I have tried almost all but keep coming back it PS.If you need any tips etc let me know

Thanks guys. Yes, PS can be a little intimidating. I actually printed out the "classroom in a book" manual (it's the size of a phone book! Really!), and it helped to explain how things work, but not how to work with it to get it to do things I want it to. Talking with someone who uses it is very helpful.

Now I just have to figure out how to actually draw on the computer so it looks like a comp rendering.
