My first ever illustration

[Alex*]

This is my first ever illustration that i did in ps i was inspired by prewe who showed me a brilliant piece of design work i think its brill but he says he's not completely satified but enough with the talking

technically not an illustration, more image manipulation with added graphic work. if i'm honest i don't like it - what exactly is it supposed to be?

is that tokyo or something?

[Alex*]

it is just something i made up just now in photoshop

It's a good effort I'm not too sure about the sky though

yeh i thought that i might get rid of those i dunno and y don't you like it ianm it is my first one i am probs gonna make more tonight

[ianm]

didn't mean anything by that - just personaly don't like that sort of thing, photos hashed together with stuff in photoshop as photoshop isn't for that sort of thing in my eyes and it makes it look so false it's unreal. if i may suggest you try using illustrator to do your creative artwork it'll be good practice for the future believe me.

well its your personal opinion so no probs i have tried a few things in illy but all i use it basic shapes and the pen tool like in illy so i might use both but for now im using photoshop thanks for the tip though

[ianm]

no problem :)

It is very good practice to do in PS. Keep working on the effects and you'll only get better.
