Sorry, I can't take this enormous grin of my face. I just like it too much! I'll explain..

This is my first picture completely done in Photoshop. The sketching, coloring, all the other things, all without touching paper or a pencil. I must admit that it took me long...very long. Sometimes it seems that the 'better' I get with PS, the longer my pictures seem to take. I worked on this for about 3,5 weeks, everyday about 2-3 hours. Do the math. But I've already noticed that grin of mine will last much longer everytime I look at it.
The picture was done as a design for a card for the 25th anniversy of my parents' wedding. So, naturally, I had to give it my best.

Technical thingies: drawn without reference, just the way I think big fluffy tail lovebirds look like. Drawn in Photoshop with a tablet.
