Digital Painting #4: Lizard
Posted by Judah in Computer Doodle, Daily Doodle, Uncategorized with 0 CommentsI started this painting with the typical value study, but since have decided to leave it as is for now, at least until I gain some further skill. I thought it would be cool to do a dragon, and so it makes sense to paint a few lizards first. However, the scales on this thing […]

Posted by Judah in Computer Doodle, Daily Doodle with 0 CommentsMy first functional Photoshop painting! Here we see the underlying value study (phase 1), and I’ll post the color version tomorrow. I grew tired of being held back by the medium…what I can do with traditional drawing materials would take me 10 times as long in Photoshop. Enough was enough! I ran down a 2 […]

Photoshop Painting: King
Posted by Judah in Computer Doodle, Daily Doodle with 0 CommentsHere is the coloring installment of my first, full-blown Photoshop painting. I can’t say I’m happy with it, but it represents part of the journey. I really would like to discover a brush that I like. I’ve tried several, but haven’t found what I’m looking for.
