Description
this is my first attempt at painting a portrait in photoshop. i got my tablet a couple of weeks ago and my fingers have been itching to do one of these! this was kind of a test, just to see if i could get lighting and stuff right. the hair i threw in very quick--which ill probably re-do later. thanks to ravnheart and sking for posting their awesome painting, kind of motivated me to do this. comments and crits are welcome!!!

Very good, wish I could paint like this. The basics are down pat - lighting, outline of facial features even the expression is pretty good. I am sure with this new technique that in the coming weeks you will hone your skills and make us all drool.
well, you deserve all praise.. as first trial this is impressive .)I am waiting to see the developing of your skills, but really this is an impressive start :)
Nice extreme lighting, great palete too.
I can only admire this, Jordan. I hope one day I'll be able to try this with the same results.
Nice Woody! Painting isn't an easy task.. Great first attempt!
If this is a first attempt I can't wait to see what you come up with next!!!
WOW! Very nice work!! I will look forward to seeing more from you! Keep up the great work!:)
