thank you so much this is a traditional work ,i don't have photoshop i have paint shop pro 8 which is the same i think,both programs do the same things
what i did because this is a black and white drawing when i scanned it and uploaded it in my paint shop pro i then went to hue saturation and click colorize and picked a color i wanted to tint the drawing and i picked blue and that was about it i don't know which settings those would be in photoshop but i'm 99% certain it has the same features-hope that helps
other than doing stuff like this and banner designs for my website i don't know any other digital stuff

Thank you Nina i'm happy we met too
That is a neat idea maybe callobarating ,
you are very good with computers and was wondering
if you do any Desktop Wallpapers from pictures or artworks
?i would love to see
some of my artworks in a desktop wallpaper ,
i have tried doing one myself all i manage to do is
blow up the image in my screens resolution but with no
background design etc

in exchange of that i would
love to draw a mermaid for you

I am sorry I don't do any desktop wallpaper, but if you want me too, I will try...Do you want one picture that you drew

Nina that's ok don't worry about it, i have made some desktops of my own i was just wondering if you did any since you do web design but that's ok it's not that important,someday when i have some more free time on my hands i will have to sit down and learn how to do it

You have a beautiful gallery and your self/images are very pretty sorry i didn't have enough time to comment on those but promise when i have more free time on my hands and on the pc i will, I was planning to add a new mermaid in my art portfolio if you like you can provide me with a good refernce photo even of yourself and i can draw a mermaid and provide a link and credit back to your gallery ofcourse, i have so many things to do artwise sometimes i just don't have the time i always seem to be behind projects and since I'm a perfectionist a portrait can take me many hours sometimes days to finish but the end results is always worth it
Thank you so much for all your kind comments

Do girls search for the perfect prince?
I think its better to imagine the perfect man and they find him!
I have read a book about it.
Have a nice weekend Katerina.

You have a lovely weekend as well kosta,

I don't know if all girls search for princes ,

My inspiration for this one came from my
favorite fairytale The Little Mermaid

She's absolutely gorgeous! I love the perspective you've drawn her in. The hint of a female tush type look under the scales adds an exotic look to her. Your subjects look so life-like and believeable...you're very good! I hope to see more 'fishy' subjects in the future, maybe with exotic upper-torso features such as delicate arm-fins and webbed fingers, or a siren with finned legs and webbed feet!

Thank you bluefairy
A kneaded eraser did that trick for me,
it's amazing what effects you can create
by using it
