Tried the Intuos in the day light, bit better. Still got that dirty colour thing going on, bad mixing. Still though must try harder, learning more every day.

Lou third attempt using Intuos4

Sex, Lies and Intuos

Trying out my Intuos 4 - It's very, very difficult to get used to compared with a Cintiq. Re visited Mr Spader and um.......... OMG

Further refining and that's one dirty face, too much green on there and too much shadow on the eye! Blending does my head in and I will not colour pick a photo. Therefore my colours are often wrong, but if i start using the colour picker i'll never learn to see colours.

Photoshop painting in progress - photograph of the painting shot with hipstamatic 

More photoshop painting

 The note. Original sketch scanned then painted in photoshop. Used multiply layers underneath the sketch. Also normal layers too. Duplicate the sketch layer and set to multiply, helps you to see your original guide lines. 

Pearl Necklace- fnar fnar. Photoshop painting, with text background. Airbrushed the legs, but blended the body using texture brushes like the "chalk" brush. Tried to get that perfect smooth look, but failed, also not sure i like smooth, i like to see brush work.

Grey Scale study - incomplete.

One of my first attempts using the Wacom Cintiq, simple greyscale study for values and shape. 

Coming Home - Painted from imagination -  study. Had fun messing about with this and playing with different layer effects, colour burn, multiply, screen, etc. Then someone suggested i added rain. Simply apply dots and then put the motion blur filter on and play about with the settings. I love this about digital painting, no rubbing off just play about with different ideas. No running out of paint and canvasses. 

Crap Robot

Crap robot, another attempt to imagine and paint. Photoshop, rough sketch first, need to learn perspective. Oh dear and moving on quickly .. the clouds are not too bad though? huh ?
