Description Sometimes we put up defences around our hearts but still others manage to hurt us or we hurt ourselves and our hearts are scarred and/or broken almost forever. Despite our constant pains, there is always more pain waiting to happen but eventually we'll feel less and less of it...

This piece took ages... and i challenged myself to colour it in without any brushwork so all colouring has been done with Blending Options and layer effects...

Here's the link to the line art for those of you who would like to improve my work... [link]

I really like how you've coloured it and differed it from the original.

The concept is very true indeed.

surprisingly, it's easier than standard photoshop colouring... just put all your different picture sectors onto different layers and play around with Bevel and emboss cos that'll take care of your shading for you...

I see...
Well, still, show me some time. I know this though, the Digital design part of the course highly frowns on the usage of filters, just a heads up

why? you seem to be doing fine. And I'm the wrong person to talk to, my photoshop colouring skills are rubbish, you know that.
