My work

Software : Adobe Photoshop 7 and 8
Hardware : graphic pencil and/or ball pen and paper (for the digital paintings)

this is great work FiveseveN. I can only hope to master the secrets of Photoshop the way you do, and for that I think i will need some time

Oh, look at me, I'm blushing (not really). Well, Radu, I have over 2 years experience with PS and I can say you're on the right path. Just remember : tutorials rule ! But not the cheap wannabe kind, the kind you can find on www.gfxartist.com . Once you've mastered a particular technique, you can start creating artwork. If that is your desire, of course. If you want to use graphic editing tools mainly for website layout design, I must advise you to use Image Ready.
