This tutorial will walk you through the simple steps used to turn a regular photograph into an interesting digital painting illustration, using Photoshop's Filter Gallery and the Smudge Tool. Depending on the photograph you choose, it shouldn't take you more than a couple of hours to complete.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created using the new 3D features in Photoshop CS6. The idea behind this image was to create an old style 3D text. The new Photoshop CS6 makes this process much easier and we will show you in a tutorial very soon.
