Got to start somewhere

Well for my first post I'll write about my very first finished digital painting. I've not had much experience with photoshop before other than cropping some images but it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Coming from years of drawing with a pencil, drawing with my tablet was pretty easy and I got a handle of it pretty quickly. At the time I had been watching one of my favourite TV shows 'The Walking Dead' and so decided to have a go at drawing the badass that is Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). A lot of people have seemed to gone off him because of the more recent episodes for his crazy, miserable ways but his face just looks so.. drawable.
So here is my attempt at digital painting which roughly took about seven 7 hours altogether. (I'm a slow worker)


The only thing I'm not really so happy about are his eyes but the beautiful thing about photoshop is that you can just go back and redo parts so easily which I'm sure you know (if you draw that is) when you finish a picture you'll come away really pleased to then come back to it a few days later and it will have suddenly grown 2 noses. Anyways next I think I'll try and make it look more realistic, I have a very scribbley shading habit when I draw with pencil so drawing like this just came natural, but I won't stop drawing in this style, I love it.
