One of the biggest disappointments in my life is that I'm not really into graphic design, computer designs and that sort of things. Long time ago (it feels that way..) I enrolled in art school, I want it to be an artist so badly. The only condition my mother gave me was that I have to be a graphic designer, bummer! Let me tell you, I tried my best but it feels like I have to left hands (and half the brain) when it comes to graphic design and computer. Everyone says great things about "photo shop," and I still feel like it's my worst enemy. For me computers are extremely cold and they lack of feeling, of course! They're part of the process, and I still find it really hard to "express" in a artistic way through it. I ended up following my heart and I did graduated from the art program, but not from graphic design. To make the story short, I want to show you my last finding. This tutorial . It has helped me overcome my terrible fear to photo editing. Ishtar explains everything so clearly that I'm not only able to edit my pictures but also to have fun doing so.

Such an amazing difference with just a few edits. I love that about photo editing. I love how you added the words, I'm not very good about that kind of stuff, I wish I was. I love when others doodle on their photos digitally.
