I'm kinda lost whenever it comes to explaining stuff. :| I photoshop old school as you would draw a picture since I was pretty good at art/illustrations in school. I use minimal filters, and loads of shading/brushing/adjustments. Photoshop is as good as the person using it. :)

BTW the original image is (they all are) Hi-Res at 4000x2248 and PSD file is 303MB for original and 414MB for the one in I have steps. Go figure.

Take a close look at the roots.Still some unclean brush strokes are visible:p

*i42.tinypic.com/3516as5.jpg

In case you have used Photoshop for this i would recommend you top start using Illustrator for Such Vector Artwork
It will make your life much more easier.:wink:
The learning Curve is not that step at all specially for someone AREADY acquainted with default Adobe Application UI.

Omg Awsome! Im not able to do Non-Cartoonish stuff.Like Did you apply 2-3 shade and then smudged it?

BTW @Sujeet in the City pic i posted recently.Does the water between the buliding look real?

Your City Pick is one of the best among the lot you have posted.
Water looks appealing if not real to say the least.

BTW i didnt use smudge in that pic.Simply applied multiple strokes of a colour with a brush at varying opacity.

Did you use Illustrator for that/

Nope.

Illustrator is not Used for Digital Painting generally.
Its is a Vector Package.Think of It as a Massive Extension of Pen Tool In Photoshop

Basically it is used to transform Hand drawn sketches to Digital Vector Like cartoons.

Take a look at this.I am trying to trace my hand drawn sketch in Illustrator.

*img850.imageshack.us/img850/7967/10959443.jpg


For Instance Check This.Though This Scene is still incomplete.

All The Paths(Vectors) have been created in Illustrator and imported to Photoshop for Tracing and Painting.

Though this scene is very simple and all those paths can be created directly using Pen tool but the thing is that if scenes become too complex with a lot of paths they can be created more easily and flexibly in Illustrator than in Photoshop.

Not sure if it fits here but still :-D
I've been learning 3D modelling and these are some basic scenes done by me consisting of shadows, transparency, reflections and lighting. Also it has wine glasses which are made from scratch. All of them are done by me from scratch.
All kinds of criticism accepted :cool:
