haven't done a finished photoshop drawing in a while. this is one of my manga character, adia. sketched and colored the figure in photoshop using my tablet, and used one of my old photos as the background. used gaussian blur filter on the photo to give the piece some dimension. merged layers, and played around with the contrast and color settings.
awww wow, tis cool ^^ i love how you put the bg in. i never thought of using gausian blur on the bg, i mite try it sometime... if i ever do anymore bgs xD
