Digital painting

For a few months now I've been reading Imagine FX and absorbing the advice of all the talented digital artists out there in Pixel-land with a view to having a go myself.
Well I've bitten the bullet (or the Wacom tablet) and had a bash at it.
Here are my first 4 efforts. No doubt I'll look back at these down the line and see all kinds of faults  but right now I'm mildly chuffed with how they turned out. These were all done in Photoshop which is the

programme I know best. More to come, I hope!
