Can I Survive My First Photoshop Illustration on a Wacom Cintiq? 

Creating My First Illustration in Photoshop on My New Cintiq | Watch Me Struggle Through the Process 😂
So I got myself a shiny new Wacom Cintiq and decided to dive headfirst into Photoshop to create my first-ever illustration on it! 🎨
Spoiler: It was both fun and a little chaotic. Join me on this wild ride as I tackle everything from a random photo study to dreaming up a character, experimenting with color thumbnails, and somehow managing to illustrate the whole thing without breaking my tablet (or my sanity).
What to expect in this video:
Me, awkwardly trying to figure out photo studies
Crafting a unique (or weird?) character design
Making four color thumbnails before choosing just one
The full, messy but exciting illustration process in Photoshop
