dhabih eng - myworld:myreality seems to be abandoned but left behind an amazing step by step process bringing a pencil sketch to life using Photoshop 3.05 and a WACOM digital art tablet. (right image: Before and After comparison.)
More can be found in the gallery and when you're this good, you attract companies like Valve and magazine publishers. Incredible.
I'm definitely going to try(attempt) these techniques myself and maybe finally learn how to use my tablet effectively. Something I have found very challenging.
Side note and also cool from my photoshop surfing today, DesignsbyMark has a new Tutorial DVD coming and went to the effort of creating a movie trailer for its release.
