Well with all this time, I was thinking you'd have gotten better.

Anyways, it takes time and practice to get to know Photoshop. For starters, you can layer the elements on your drawing (sketch, colors, shading, whatnot... ). Thinking in a 3d canvas, the lower layers are further back, while the upper layers are placed on top of those lower layers. On the screen, they will be up in front.

The tools in the long bar take a while to know, so try and invest some time in figuring that out, as well as the effects that are available (most located in the menus above).

Looking through photoshop tutorials here in DA will help, especially since you can find tutorials on basic uses of photoshop.

Hope that helps. ^^

Yeah, my school sports Photoshop-and when I get the time-try to sketch something out. Though I'll go the scanning way-scan a picture and then photoshop it. The program is pricey and I cannot afford it right now, but I'll probably get used to it when I do purchase it...one day.

Thanks for the tips.
