Hi, JoJo!

Experiment with different brushes. PS 6 comes with some fairly interesting ones (awful ones, too!) and you can grab free ones from many sites. Some of them are image based. To start with, check out Adobe Studio Exchange Just make sure any brushes you download from there are for PS 6 and earlier. Because the brush engine changed dramatically in PS 7, a brush created for 7 won't work in 6.

Also, try painting on different layers, with different colors. Experiment with opacities, blend modes, etc. Use "texture type" brushes to create interesting texures...you can use more than one On different layers, too.

You can also create custom brushes from any image, say, made by a dingbat font. Be sure it's in black & white, then select the image, Edit Menu > Define Brush, name your brush. It will appear at the end of your current brush palette.

Hope this helps! Let us know how you do.

JoJo

welcome aboard JoJo, I'm not sure what your looking for but try this site it's full of techniques for painting with PS. http://div.dynds.org/EK/tutorial/

Just try and paint whateer you want, and afterwards use different blurring/sharpening tools depending on what your looking for. For oil painting, watercolour and such results like that, browse through the artistic filters [righton]

The only thing is practice... can you draw with a real pencil? try first to reproduce some simple objects, then some pictures...

Play with the brushes, don't overlook what some drawing books can teach you (like "Perspective made easy" etc...) the talent filter is not yet included in Photoshop... I searched a long time for it

With photoshop, you can have a new layer, lower his opacity, and learn first to trace the objects, to practice...
