@NDGFX: Mr.Nerdy Dreams himself good to see you here,brov. In all fairness,he has potential to get much better like you said. In the interim however,I give him overall 60% for fair attempt. He really needs to work on his blending modes and colour correction for it all to blend for realism's sake. cheers,bro

Okay, i know you're still learning but You've got to stop posting your practice work and actually focus on getting better because your work is fucking awful to look at. GET BETTER FIRST.

Me just dey try o. Pls I need critics. Check out the before and after...

For starters,a fair attempt creatively but your work also needs serious improvement and some of the paint jobs you posted weren't meant to be uploaded especially last ones below of 2guys and a lady. In photomanipulation,you need to go back to Photoshop,experiment with brushes and blending modes found in the layer panel both when you rightclick with your mouse when you have chosen a layer to access it or the bottom end of the layer panels with some icons for layer mask,delete,group etc.
That is why @NDGX commented that way and didn't insult you i.e. just constructive criticism/advise. So your reply wasn't justified. Dude,personally I know him so if he posts his work here,yours never stood a chance in comparison...okay. Visit his blog if you want to know more about Nigerian creatives working in media houses and freelancing.
If you were a member of the Naija Graphic Designers(NGD) group on facebook undoubtedly the largest group of Nigerian creatives dedicated to graphics your some of your shoddy paintings would not have been posted and those you did better maybe allowed.
Do yourself a favour and acquaint yourself also with premium video tutorials from Digital Tutors,Lynda,iDrawGirls,CG Cookie all on google for digital painting. Once you know the basics believe me it's people that will call your work amazing with referrals not you advertising it.

Best Regards...

A good attempt,my advice learn more about brushes and blend modes. For your photomanipulation to look much more real,use the brush tool set on colour black opacity and flow set @12 brush to shoe areas where your cutouts are meant to be walking on the ground to brush in a slight shadow effect. You could use the colour picker when you want to choose colours from your background picture to paint shadows and highlights on the guys you used. Duplicate the layers of these guys you used,fill with colour black,go to Free Transform Control T as a shortcut,choose distort to make the layer bend to the ground like a shadow and you must know where your light source is. You then make those black layers more transparent and less opaque in the layer panel. Voila,a more realistic picture and I hope my tips help out.

Visit www.psdbox.com and subscribe to Andrei Oprinca's channel on youtube you'll be glad you did,cheers for now...
