CS3 Painting
I was going through some old stuff for inspiration and improvement…I came across an old photo of my nephew Victor (this from a phtoshoot of their band Bullets and Betrayal) and decided to mess around with some pixels…:)
It is not my best but I liked my idea of keeping the background a seperate style…smudged, painted and spot removal tool used but definately not abused.
As always…click the tiny photo for the “El Grande” version

I’m hoping to get more tutorials done so I can really get a better feeling and knowledge of how the brushes and well basically everything syncs together.

I’ve been working today on a long time goal of mine which is to create digital paintings using Corel Painter. I’ve had the software forever and a few tutorial workbooks but just have not put any time or efforts into getting in further than the purchases…anywho’s to make this short and simple, here is my first attempt at painting digitally.
I used a mix of watercolors and chalk and charcoal brushes…I now I have to work on my stroke patterns but I was pretty happy with this first attempt.
