Digital Painting - 1st Attempt

So I keep coming across these fancy images on the internet of digital paintings, and I decided I wanted to try my hand at it. I'm not much of an artist with a pencil or paintbrush; a mouse is more my style. So I messed around with a kinda old picture of myself and this is what I came out with. I was pleasantly surprised. Gotta few requests from friends on Facebook who saw it first and wanted me to do an image of them in the same style. Sounds like practice to me!
