Practicing My Rusty Photoshop Skills

As the title say, my photoshop skills are rusty. I'm studying Digital Imaging (because Graphic Design wasn't available in my area) I should be ashamed. Also my drawing is rusty. What's wrong with me? (>.<) I used to be so artistic and now I'm not, but I still love it. 

I started playing with photoshop again, faster way to learn, because you can learn from YouTube following the steps of other designers but in reality you'll easily forget or copy their style of designing. Every designer must have their own unique styles if you want to be known worldwide become different, if people see the same thing, they won't have interest on you or you won't become the next big designer with the reason other designer already became big with that style. In other words designers must be unique and different. (I learned that from designers from tumblr and google)

Here's my first attempt of blending, merging layers and adding effects with Photoshop. I apologies  having the links of my block all over, the reason for it is because I've seen and known people that steals other designers work and while the stealers get paid with a lot of money and prices, the original creators get nothing. Saying this I must mention the images that I used where found on google. Yes! There's 3 images and are top of each other. I had always wonder how people does it and recently learned how. I thought it was by putting all next to each other and blend it. (What none designers always do) I did it by uniting the 3 pictures (merging layers) as one and I did it automatically. I must improve more that means more photoshop because Illustrator it's already my best friend. (^_^) Hope you'll like it.
