When I was in the Louvre, I was gobsmacked to see this statue. Diana has always fascinated me. She brings home the bacon, I mean venison. I found a picture of her on the web and harvested it for digital art. I worked it up over a period of months, leaving her and coming back again. As is my habit, I digitally brushed over the entire profile. Usually, I will change the arrangements of the reference photo. Sometimes I cut off limbs and rearrange them. This profile is so beautiful that I did not even change any proportions.
In another file, I had a desire to create some jewelry and worked, played, with beautiful stones. I put the two files together and created a simple frame version and a jeweled framed version.
I have been creating in photoshop since the late 90's, so have many files. Recently I developed a system of organization that is working well. The file names are six digit dates, with the year listed first, followed by a short description. This info might be helpful to help you manage files.
