Heya all. I was thinking for a while since my whole neighborhood was snowed in (I live in Virgina, USA, and we had a major snowstorm pass through) and I began to think of testing out how Photoshop was able to create things that looked like natural media. Yesterday, I started to mess around with the paintbrush set on the "wet edges" option, which really gave me a nice, natural brush stroke.

Today, I decided to test this out. I used no layers, no dodge/burn tools, just the paintbrush tool with about 15 different colors ( I made my own swatch palette). Oh well, I hope you all like this.

There are 3 versions, two of which are listed below. The third version is the full rez, (3000x1650) and just tell me if you want it. This was by no means a "real" image. This was just a personal test, which I thought would be cool to share with you all.

Took me about 2 hours, and I have a really bad tablet, but it gets the job done

I think it's very cool. Keep on going, a few more layers, but let it breathe.
