However, you have studied these things for much longer than I... And I could learn a lot from this upcoming post... I know your working on a whales post as well, but I really would love to see this elephant post, as well as engage in some discussion about their appearances - I think your fans want the early whales post first but i still hope to see a post about proboscids!

Your tutorial was very useful and well-done! I'm a bit intimidated yet with the handling of layers.. and your demonstration of steps has shed a lot of light into that. Thank you!!! I'll be looking forward to more!!! :o) Carl,

I own several Wacom tablets, but I have been hesitating using them for the more detailed projects---this exercise is quite inspiring.

I tripped in from Jeff Hebert's blog. What a great find for me! I think it would be pretty awesome to have an Photoshop action of some small project, and see the whole process rip though in a few minutes. It would make a great movie I think. I think a good caption somewhere would be "Converting Traditional Art Skills and Techniques to Computer Based Workflow." Fantastic stuff. I tripped in from Jeff Hebert’s blog.
