I am trying to learn how to "paint" in photoshop. This is my first one. What is done so far took me like a fucking hour! Jeez.

looks good. once you get the workflow, it should become fairly easy. sh-t just starts forming right before your eyes!

few tricks

ctrl-shift-alt-n for new layer. paint opaque. reduce opacity. merge down with ctrl-e. rinse and repeat.

also, its better to pop highlights and dark shadows near the end, cause otherwise you will have to tweak and tweak and your intensities will be all over the place. rather find a good midtone... fill.. right now you are starting with a base of almost highlight. using graidents to throw down inital shading helps too. use path/shapes then fill with slight gradients. SMOOTH!

some pretty decent hair brushes. http://jimiyo.com/downloads/brushes.abr, although if you want realism you will want to have 1-3 pixel brush for individual tedious painting.

erm... anyways... LOOKS HOT!

Thank you for the advice! You’re the man!

I would love to do some real painting, but this seems easier for now.

I also want to do an art show sometime soon - and would like to have more than just tees to show. Ya know?

Looks good, but as Jimiyo said, you should apply your highlights and shadows during the last steps of your work.

adding layers is the key, and you can also use smudge, burn and dodge tools with smooth settings to obtain a good result.
I forgot to say, a lot of patience would help!

and oh, nice "fish", Heavyprints!

A looooooong ways from being done. It definitely needs hair.

A jest at the style of the late Ed Roth.

isn’t the second image an Alex trochut piece?
jib said about 1 month ago

yep, it’s just a "prototype" to see how the book would be when finished.
As I really love the work of Alex Trochut on typography, I used it to "fill" some pages.

Nice, Kyle!

I’m finally getting around to creating a custom Munny, this one is going to become a cute little owl. I cut the ears off and am waiting for the plaster to dry completely before I sand it smooth and paint....I’m planning to make the arms into wings. Super beginning stages but I’m stoked to get going with it!!

Very slowly. Basically, just matching skin tones. Pressing apple+shift+z a lot. Using the drop shadow and watercolor brushes. It’s tedious!

working on some new album art.. woohooo. Still have several (and I mean several) hours of work to do on this one. Back and front cover. Front should be easier because its a long distance shot, but still, gotta put the same effort into it.

www.myspace.com/awakendesigncompany

i’m pretty happy with the turnout of it!!!
i usually slack a lot on my personal/company projects, and really invest a ton of time into my client projects.
but i’ve done quite a bit with my new layout.
leave your thoughts if you would like.

*and yes, i used the free vector banners :)
