As it says on the front page of my blog, I do photo painting for portrait photographers. My goal here is to show photographers how I can help them increase their bottom line by creating unique (or at least different) products to sell their customers. For photographers who want to do this on their own, I believe this tutorial is helpful. I'm sharing my knowledge and, frankly, trying to promote my business. In light of that, I'm really confused by your comment, Bert. I mean, as someone who works for Dreamworks, you must know all about doing commercial work. I wouldn't think anyone would confuse what either you or I do with real Art. This is just business.

Copyrighted? So many references to "my painting"? You did what exactly that would qualify this as original? I'm sorry, but using an artists backgrounds for your own does not qualify the statement "in the style of". Nor does scaling/cloning elements and applying filters qualify "painting this photo". The girl appears to be 8 feet tall because you killed the scale. The worst part about this is that it's a tutorial churn out more of the same cut-n-paste crap rather than an encouragement for people to leverage off of these tools to bring something new to the table. This isn't even collage. It's the opposite of creativity. This is terrible on so many levels. Copyrighted? So many references to “my painting”?

Beautiful. But your tutorial must be more for people who know what their doing! I've just started, (basically I'm clueless) I need lots more detail of how to do what. How did you clear it up after it was a bit rough as you say?? I love that painting! Beautiful. But your tutorial must be more for people who know what their doing!

More shadows to create contrast and also more complementary colors would have enhanced even more your painting. IMHO. Your tutorial is very helpful.
