Our assignment for class this week was to paint a photograph in Photoshop. I decided to combine the assignment with learning how to use the tablet I bought, oh, about a year ago. I still haven't quite figured it out, but I was getting more comfortable with it by the end.
For all the time and effort I put into this 'painting', I wish it wasn't on top of a photograph! It took several hours to do, and I can't even say it's original artwork. I can't pretend it took any extraordinary artistic talent, just a lot of layers and fiddling and playing with brushes and tools. Ah well. After it all, though, I kind of like the result.
