My second attempt at 'painting' in photoshop. I tried to use a more traditional approach and relied less on blending tools.

I took a sketch from my sketchbook and tried to do what i think concept artists/digital artists do. I scanned the sketch and 'painted' under it in photoshop. This would, I think, have been much easier had I used something like corel painter and a wacom tablet. I have neither and used the mouse as best I could. I am pretty pleased with how the shirt came out, but the face looks rather amateur. The background was an abandoned hospital hallway photo with an IV rack thrown in to make it look like a space that was still in use, just dilapidated. I spent a morning doing it and chalk it up to being an ok first attempt.
