I have been dinking around in photoshop for a few weeks and my sister asked me to paint a portrait of her. I took a photograph of her face and then altered it in photoshop to look painted. I then used a 3d body pose to design the dress I wanted to put on her. I used the clothing tutorial for photoshop here on Renderosity to help me with get a more fabric look. I also used the hair tutorial as well. Anyhow this is my first real portrait. I am still very new at this and backgrounds are a bit too deep for me yet :P. I give you my sister Clarissa. Helpful comments are more than welcome.
