Practice Digital Painting

Recently I have been practicing digital painting for graduad exhibition website. It is a painful process...however, it is a great pleasure to see something coming out from a blank paper in Photoshop.

I start with human portrait,which is what I am more comfortable in painting.

I fails many time...quite struggling... but somehow work out how. It is pretty much the same as hand painting, but more flexible.

The next one i paint is a celebrity. Lady Gaga. Try to create something like an oil painting.

There are many problems that I have to improve =/
