Description My first try with Photoshop. I need to learn how to use it, I am an uber beginner. So rather than start some big ass project from scratch, I started small. I redrew this (see my gallery for the original pic) and colored it in with colored pencils. Then I scanned it in and played with it, cutting it up into layers, applying filters and just screwing around. It was fun, and I learned a few things.

I wanted something soft and prettiful. That's what I got. Hope ya'll like.

Wow, nice work. You got shading and everything in there. For being your first attempt at photoshop its quite good. I do agree w/ you though, Kagome does have 80s style hair. Still, thats an excellent pic.

Hey hey hey! Looking good there! Aren't you glad I pointed you to photoshop! It's loads of fun, but it takes a lot of time an practice to really get a feel for it. And remember... LAYERS LAYERS LAYERS, you must make a million of them! lmao. It will get easier after you get used to it. Anyway, lovely!

Thanks so much. I wanted to learn the basics first, and decided to screw around and get a better feel for the program first. Hopefully, my work will continue to improve. You'll be seeing more 'work' like this!

Thanks for the fav!

hehe that's exactly how I started- using it to spiffify my arts before I delved into a complete comp coloring job. You said you wanted something soft- my only complaint is the skin seems a bit dark- but even that isn't that bad.

Keep at it girl!

Well, Kagome has big hair, so the dark coloring of the skin is more shadowed due to her 80's style hair.

I'm glad you like it. I'm so excited that I can even do this with photoshop. Yay!
