Wow, I still can't believe I did this. It's only been 10 days since this love affair started and it's crazy to see how much I learned in so little time. Today I saw a counselor at the art institute I am so excited to start my new journey there.
And I'm so glad my small amount of followers can share this moment with me :,3

Here is the tutorial I used to show me the techniques on how to create this "look" it is a very loose tutorial so don't expect any hand holding!
And the orginal picture is used, which is Hayao Miyazak by the way. http://www.nanimew.org.uk/notices/2005/0401/hayao_miyazaki.jpg
Good luck, and I hope you guys never stop creating! <3
