Hello! I am getting into the video game making world, and now I have to learn texturing. I think it is very difficult though! I made my model, and imported the UV map into Photoshop, but now when I actually texture it, it is really difficult! This is what I have after an hour of playing around it Photoshop

Is this a good start for someone who has only used PS for an hour? My question though is are there any tools in PS that I should learn to make it look more realistic? Now I do NOT want to make it the most realistic possible, because I am making a mobile game. However, this is obviously too bad to be put inside of a game. I looked at quite a few tutorials, but nothing really “got to me”. And yes I know that I am not going to be able to make good textures right away. I am totally willing to learn anything that’ll help me make it more believable. Maybe any direct links covering this exact thing? Thanks guys!
