A while back I took a terrifyingly informative Digital Painting course with the intimidatingly talented young Bobby Chiu at Schoolism.com. I learned all sorts of tools and tricks that made Photoshop seem much more powerful than it already did. Are you sensing my fear yet? haha.. I was eager to try out some of the techniques I learned from Bobby on a drawing of my own, but that ended up taking quite a lot longer than expected!
This little 'Mouse Pilot' is a modest beginning but hopefully I'll do many more now that I've gotten the ball rolling.

I started this in Brushes on my iPhone, moved the PSD to Sketchbook Pro on my PC to use the lovely drawing tools, then switched to Photoshop to paint it.
