TETSUO!

By in digital, paintings

I’m colouring more little sketches via Photoshop and my Wacom stylus. While it’s still not a gorgeous drawing, I’ve used a number of effects here, and am not flipping through layers accidentally. What’s that mean, the non-Photoshop user asks? It means the process is so involved, you can’t even complain about it to a non-specialist. […]

Kentucky UFO Incident

While I don’t believe the stories, these are fun for me to draw.

Flowers and Trees

By in cats, color, paintings, sketches, watercolour

For a job that’s taking longer than it should (these are the lazy days of summer, after all), I’ve been painting flowers. It’s outside my comfort zone, but that’s why I take these tasks on, to learn new things. The clematis above aren’t perfect (mainly a matter of colour), but I’m working on it today. […]

Pretty Pict-chas

By in color, digital, men, paintings, sketches, watercolour, women

Here are some digital and watercolour pictures (and blends of both) that I’ve been doing today, and over the weekend. So many things to tell about these, and there are still challenges, and important things to learn. But what’s most important is that I’m feeling comfy with the tools, and having fun. Above is using […]

I’m Still Figuring this Digital Thing Out!

By in black and white, color, digital, men, paintings, pencil, sketches, women

It will be nice when I can reliably produce images i’m happy with. Anyhow, it’s fun to play with, if a little time-consuming. I’m not a portrait type (that’s why I’m working on these!), but the machine has tools (particularly Photoshop’s “Liquefy”) which allows you to make little adjustments to a picture which would otherwise […]

Relaxing

By in cats, digital, men, paintings

A couple of quick digital paintings I did on my little computer (an Asus EEE subnotebook) while chatting with a friend. This is good, because it means I’m generally getting more relaxed with it! Still so much to learn. Check this page, for instance. I should post most of my useful digital painting training links, […]

Still Amblin’ Down the Digital Path….

By in digital, paintings, women

I think these are looking better. (and now I’ve updated it to balance the colours a little, according to some things I’ve learned. There are so many tools with Photoshop. Interesting but complex.)

Car, in place, with Guy

By in digital, machines, men, paintings

Reasonably happy with this. I’m getting control of my brushes, and all the little switches. I like the impressionistic roughness, and it didn’t even take me all that long.

Car, Car C-A-R

By in digital, paintings

Something I used to chant as a little one, for whatever reason. Painted this to go into the background of another picture, but spent so much time on it (learned a lot, however), that I decided to clip it out and blow it up. I seem to be having better luck with inorganic objects than […]

Paper or Pixels?

By in digital, men, paintings, watercolour, women

One thing my recent adventures in digital painting have done, they’ve made my painting in watercolour seem absolutely easy and refreshing by comparision. Still it’s a great challenge, and I’ve learned plenty in the last little while. As I relax and practice, things will get easier, and the people more natural. I’m not a quick […]
