Photoshop

Today I discovered the fun of photo manipulation on photoshop. I've used it a lot for photo editing, (fix lighting, remove trees sticking out of peoples heads, stuff like that), but never actually drastically changed an image. Tonight I scratched the surface of the manipulate things in can do with just my photoshop elements. I did these dogs tonight. Originally they were in a grassy field. This wasn't too complex, I only used about ten layers, and it took me only about two hours, but I really like how it turned out.

I've really want to take up digital painting, but that's impossible at the moment with my touch pad on my laptop. Now I've found something to entertain me while I save up for my graphics tablet.
I'm planning on eventually taking one of my pictures of my pony and somehow turning her into a ninja pony. How awesome would that be?
