Through Your Eyes, painted in PS CS3 Extended, this painting i worked extremely hard on, i know it's no where near perfect but i am pretty proud of how it turned out i've been studying a lot of different tutorials and also used Photoshop Top Secret's Portrait Painting video tutorial to help me achieve a more portrait realistic look by using different colors than one would expect to use when doing a portrait and to use cold colors to help turn the curves better I've put so many hours into this painting i have lost count other than i've been working on it off and on for the last few weeks, if i had to guess i would say a good 50+ hours this is the longest i've spent on a single piece so far but i think it turned out ok. If anyone has any critique's i'm open to hearing them Also, this piece's title has a deeper meaning to me the reason i titled it Through Your Eyes, is because a lot of times i don't see myself the way others do, so this is my representation of what others see, now if only i could see it myself

Also, i got the sweetest message in one of my birthday cards today and i think it is very fitting to go with this painting so i will post it here too.

"Take a minute on this milestone and think for a moment what a truly creative, loving, and sweet person you are."

**EDIT** Repainted the background from a suggestion
