I would like to share my works for TEXTURED Digital Fine Art Images: Tutorials are scattered in the internet for this technique, this is my own version for texturing.

Hope you like it.

Digital Fine Art It starts with a picture but leads to much much more.

    Very nice! Would you mind providing a summary of your technique or perhaps provide a link to a tutorial that you think is effective? I am particularly interested in how you get those color tones.

    I love this work! Beautifully and artistically done. I've been messing around with these concepts as well and seems to be hit and miss...or takes a ton of time :D. Care to share some techniques or links? Your work is great! Nice stuff for a change of pace too in the portfolio. Thanks for sharing.

    I will add my voice to the many calls on here for direction, preferably to your own technique but at least to the tutes you think to be the best!

    Looks like you went to the JoeyL Manny Librodo workshop! I see some influences from both photographers in your work. Although it's kind of difficult to not take a good picture of Kharu isn't it. :)

    From a fellow filipino, excellent job. And looking forward to seeing more of your work.

    Mabuhay!
