My First Attempts at Photoshop

Originally this was just a simple little doodle I did but thought I would try colouring it in on Photoshop, this was the first time I'd ever used Photoshop for this type of work, I used Photoshop a lot last year but it was in my photography class not for drawing.

My next attempt was drawing myself as a disney character, this was also in my spare time, I need to spend more time working on my photoshop skills and I'm hoping this year will give me the chance to.

This piece is me again but this time it was actually for a piece of work on my course at PCAD. We had to design a postcard that was based around a chosen word, this piece was about depression.
