I'm new at photoshop and most of the stuff I know about it I was taught by my boyfriend.
Please tell me what you think and feel free to suggest ways I can improve.











Oh yeah and if you like my works then I can make one for you to use.

The second one is my fav.

Things for beginners -
1. Try lightly blurring the background - it will give it more depth.
2. Try to add a obvious light source - check where the light is coming from, look at the render, see which side is lighter and which side has shadow.
3. Try blending the render more - a brilliant beginners tip is to select a soft eraser brush set at 50% opacity and carefully erase some bits around the edges of your render...not all of it though, for example - on a character, using a soft eraser brush carefully erase some the edges of the render's bottom half, not the head.

I hope this help's, you've made a great start, great job...

Well, for a beginner these are pretty good. The only constructive criticism i can give is that you need to blend the background and the render together a little bit better. If you want to try to do this without destroying (or manipulating) your main art work(render, w.e you wanna call it) you can try to use blending layers and color balance layers to get your artwork and your background to match a little bit better.

Like everyone else said, blend the render in more, but... I'm gonna tell you how!

Theres 3 major color correcting tools, they are:
1. Hue/Saturation
2. Levels
3. Curves

Play around with all three and eventually you'll get a really nice sig.

Good Luck!
