First shot at a digital painting, nothing special or crazy. Took about 20 minutes. Since I use a wacom tablet for photo retouching, I decided I'd finally give painting a shot.

Thank you. Also, does anyone have any links to videos that would be best for learning? I searched youtube earlier but wasn't really finding any good tutorials that specifically aimed at beginners.

Start with cubes and that shit first so you start building up from bigger brushes size to smaller ones.
