Description Just a little something, I found the pic of the ballerina hidden away when I was cleaning my harddrive and decided to do something with it

Everything else is bought from [link] and is from a scrapkit by Lily Design.

Also a part of the background and the twigs are bought from [link] , and the rest is painted by me

All I did was to copy the ballerina, then I flipped her vertically and pushed it down a bit so the copy-layer comes directly below, and then I just lowered the opacity a bit, around 20-50% is usually enough! It's a very easy thing to do trust me!

Well earlier I used to combine filters and regular painting, but these days I try to paint from scratch...and it's not all that easy lemme tell ya! It got a lot easier when I got my tablet, or at least when I finally learned how to use it haha! It takes a lot getting used to to suddenly use a pen again (I used to draw and do sketches before, when I was younger)but it's a whole diffrent experience to paint with pen pressure then with the mouse..It gets a lot more controlled and more natural. Otherwise I just use photoshop, and sometimes paint shop pro when I'm doing tag-tutorials on the web!

oh ok I always like how artist made their manipulations look like it was painted. I don't have a tablet so I guess I'm gonna have to use either photoshop or use paint shop pro and thanks again I just want to learn everything I can to get better at photo manipulations

Yeah well, the most important is to learn the basics is photomanipulation before you start drawing anyway, unless you ONLY want to draw of course! I did excellent with a mouse and photoshop for almost two years before I figured I needed a tablet to get better and move forward! So I think you should focus on the basics, that's the best way to start!
