My first blog on here! New digital art...

So yep, this is my first blog entry =)

I don't really know what to write lol, but I have a new passion for digital art.

I already had a passion for it, but now I'm finally biting the bullet and trying things out.

I've been doing a lot of reading on Photoshop tutorials and looking at work that I want to aspire to.  Pretty top notch stuff, and I want to be able to do it!!  I have had some experience with Photoshop from pervious art courses, like my Bachelor of Arts and a 3D Animation Diploma, both sadly unfinished, though what I passed, I did well at!  Hopefully over the next few years, my skills will be a lot better =D

Anyway, this image below is a digital painting I did in Photoshop CS5 using a Wacom Intuos 3 Drawing Tablet.

He is a friend from Facebook that volunteered to be my experiment, or guinea pig if you will ;)

I referenced it from an image in his Facebook gallery:

So, it's actually my first human digital painting!  I know it doesn't look *exactly* like him, but he seemed to be happy with it =)  It is my first one after all lol!

Here is an image I'd done just before I started on Horus' portrait:

I named it Luscious Pink.  It's an image of a rose my mum gave me for my birthday this year in June =).

Anyway, I must depart, my baby is demanding my attention lol.

Peace!
