Visual Design - Session 1

For our first visual design session we had to copy a digital painting in Photoshop. I have used Photosop a lot in the past for editing and manipulating photography images but painting in Photoshop is still a very new experience for me. During this practice I found colour selection to be extremely hard and had to manipulate the hue/saturation multiple times after starting the piece to get the colours to look more skin  like.

Manipulated hue/saturation and liquified to bring closer to the image reference
