Nice to meet you all. My name is Andrew (Drew) Sokol. I've been into Photoshop and Painter for about 3 years. There's sooo much to learn. I appreciate everyone's support and am so grateful to Renderosity.com for just being!
-DrewBIOAfter 6 years in college (B.S. Radio/TV/Film, San Diego State Univ.), followed by 10 years in advertising, followed by 10 years as a photographer, I took a break (or experienced mid-life crisis) and left America to travel the world teaching English.
4 countries and 6 years later, I discovered Photoshop on a computer at an English school in Thailand. The program re-energized my interest in photography. After one year of 8-hour days on the computer with Photoshop, I developed an interest in 'painting' photographs.
Next step, buy Painter. My most recent images were created using both Photoshop and Painter.
Thanks to all who have viewed and commented about my images. It has helped give me confidence to return to the States, and to a career in photography and digital imaging.

I like this a lot. You have struck a nice balance between detail on the photograph and the nature of the media - something I do not think I have achieved yet my self. Thanks for posting.

Nicely done! Like how the brushstrokes on the background elements adds just enough abstraction to the flowers and grass to draw the eye to the couple. Well done. Bravo.

Wonderful painting. You utilized Painter very well. This couple should be very happy with your work, it's a real keepsake.
