Lesson 3

Layers 

and 

Black & White Coloring Method

This is cool ! this makes it so easy to through in some nice effects ! ;)

Monster Bull Thingy - Colored

So I just went on to add colors and different layer blend modes, if not all of them, to see what goes and what doesn't :) This piece probably became a bit of an overkill :P hehe

Initial Drawing with revisions

Dragon WakeUp Prank - BW

 So, I wanted to create something more funny and thorough as well :)

Dragon WakeUp Prank - Color

Here I added color and played around with the blend modes to get the right effects :)
colored using the lasso tool, and hue/saturation adjustments :)

Lesson 2

Light and Shadow

Form shadow on different objects

experimenting with form shadow and highlight.

object form changes + different light-sources

trying to define an object with form shadow.
playing with different directional light-sources.
adding texture-based light and shadows.

object form changes + cast shadow

again playing with the form of the object based on the form shadow.

playing with cast shadow.

It is amazing how just spending some time making a new and more definable brush, gives the drawing/painting so much more force and dynamics! really like this "homemade" square brush.

Bull Monster Thingy

I decided to make a new creature sketch, just to keep practicing my digital sketching.
(the arrow indicates the light-source).
using the new brush I made :)

Janitor-Intern Guy

experimenting with the Janitor Intern guy from lesson 1.

two different light-sources.

Lesson 1

Basic Tools

First Assignment:

Sketch a character or creature from scratch using Photoshop.

Started with a basic filling of a shillouette in graytone.

after that I sketched up the character based on the shillouette.

from there I added more and more detail, using about 5 layers.

getting comfortable with Photoshop :)
THIS IS FUN !
