Default I Started Playing with my Christmas Present

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.

Talking

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.
