Being a person with a struggling desire to learn realistically and animatedly, I admire all the factors put forth. I just don't grasp the concept of photoshop. To me, it is cheating how you really "see" the person or image in your head. Can you please explain? Thank you, in advance. :)

Photoshop is just another tool some artists use to create even better images. Of course it can also be used to create absolute crud.

    Is it for the speed you use Photoshop? All are beautiful drawings... but, to me, the first one is the actual "drawing." The rest are because of computer enhancing? Please explain. Thanks !

    I usually lose track but I once looked up and realized I'd been altering on the same piece for about 4 hours. I'm not as good as this artist yet. Apparently, I just need to give it time.

    The last cat was realism. This one looks like she was going for a bit more of a semi-realism style.
