Do you create digital art?

If you want to learn to do this, there are a lot of tutorials out there on using Photoshop.

Try good tutorials.

Nice! What is your specialty and do you do it as a business?

That's good that you take the time to really work the art. I have thought about using the computer to make some money but I don't have the energy or time to devote to it. I like to play around in my free time, though. My favorite thing to do with pictures is blur them to make them look more dreamy. I did that once with a photo I took of my son when he was 18 months old. The picture was horrid. The lighting was really harsh. I blurred it a little to match the mood on his face and loved it. My dad thought I was nuts (he is a traditionalist when it comes to photos). I still love that picture. My new avatar is another of my son. I turned it black and white and blurred it to mathc the mood.

That's true- but I do think there is an art to creating the brush strokes and colors. I don't go in for just dumping something through a filter. Since I am also an oil painter, I actually use my mouse as sort of a brush for creating textures. Why not use your talents to create a business for yourself?

That's lovely! I also find that you can take a bad, pixelated or dark photo and revamp it by using Photoshop and few good techniques. There's nothing more satisfying than taking one of those green tinted dark digital photographs and blowing it up to a good printable size and applying some filters to make it really interesting.

hey thanks for your comment. love to do more but whenever i came back from work, im too tired to think of creating anymore graphics. but i love to get ideas from creative magazines and use it on my work

Nice! I'd love to see more of your creations.

That's cool! Don't you love it that we can create instant cartoons?

by the way, do you have any idea what the size requirements are for photos placed in a discussion? I noticed yours are pretty small too. When I uploaded the same montage to my profile, it came up full size. I almost seems that i the sizes on different graphics care kind of random, doesn't it?

Great! Let me know how it works out. It would be good to know what the limitations are.

I'm not, but I have been on the site before- it looks like a lot of fun! Is your name the same at Deviant Art as it is here? I'd love to see your work.

yes. there are lots of digital artworks there at deviantart. I have an ccount too. Wow. I want to have a tablet too. how much is it? You're lucky you can have one.

Very nice! I love the watercolor look you have going on with this. The color palette is gorgeous.

Did you draw that rose yourself?

What is it that you do now? Have you ever tried to retouch old photos? Now that can be tricky. I've been working on several, just for fun. why not upload something for us to see?
