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 :P

I received my upgrade for Painter in the mail last week and finally got to play with all the tasty new features. I still have a long way to go but the image to the left is a quick little sample of what came about from my first time using Painter X.

I also purchased a DVD done by Fay Sirkis a while back so now I can finally use all the new brushes included with it since upgrading. It really is an insighful DVD with lots of great tutorials…a couple of my other favorite tutorials or DVDs are from Susi Lawson and Brad Buttry. All a huge wealth of information, enjoy!

With this I wanted it to add more dramatic areas, this was a shot from many of Indy & Rain after running wild in the outdoor arena at the local equestrian center.

The result…

Charcoals, pencils and other stuff.

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.

Done in Painter IX using pencils and charcoal over digital photo of my Indy from last winter.

I’m really enjoying the way the tablet is starting to feel and how much easier the workflow is coming along.

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.

So, yesterday Rick and I went for supplies to the local Equestrian Center and came across some beautiful Friesian horses running around in the late afternoon. Wikipedia has a bit of history if your interested in finding about more. What appealed to me about these particular horses were how gentle their approach to us dispite their powerful and almost warrior like appearance. A long braided mane and fetlock as well as a flowing tail. Truly a magnificient creature to encounter, I can’t wait to get back and get some more pictures when the weather permits. Hopefully their green blankets will be off as well :)
