My first crack at photoshop

[midgetclown]

Ive had it for a couple days and still dont know what the heck im doing. Heres the 2 pics ive done so far.

Heres a pic of me and my uncle that i wanted to try to "cartoonize" but the picture quality wasnt great so i couldnt get it as good as i wanted.

And heres an easy one i did with my tahoe. Only thing i really did was color in the bowtie and parking lamps as good as i could from the oiginal pic.
