during the afternoon , we were having the introduction of using photoshop, creating digital paintings and i am excited and amazed that how powerful of photoshop is.
We started to look at different brushes and functions, as that will really helpful to explore our ways and styles . we have to create a 16:9 ration of digital paintings.
i started experimenting different brushes,opacity and flow, and try to create a jungle with different shapes and texture. When i was in diploma course, we did many sketches and paints and that really help me to be in mind some of the principle are really important and need to be careful ,such as the colour can make my paint more in depth, while the objects were closer should be darker than the objects far away in the composition.
after that, we started making our thumbnails in photoshop, also the lecture giving us examples and inspirations that we should not spend too much time on one sketching but keep it simple stupid, as keep moving and progressing we can find more to explore , select and delete ideas in cheap .
after i finished the work on last post , i was thinking to have more possibility of my composition and inspiration from the book but not just do something for the specific story, so i have sketched some of the thumbnails ,didn't look good but help me a lot in progression. and i know that is the right direction to move on , and i also try to use what i have learnt today , applied create thumbnails with photoshop
and try not to spend too much time on skills but get used to sketch with tablet as well . and i am happy to sketch in photoshop as it is easy to create the mood and smooth while using pencils you well need more time to blend with darkness and lines.
:D More please!
ReplyDeleteAlso - just a tip - don't centralise your text; use the justified option (that is the small box with the text lines completely filling the box), as this makes your text look more 'bookish' and professional :)
thank you for reminding :) and it looks more organise after changing the text line :)
DeleteGreat to see these up and ready for feedback. Definitely finish this page, it will instantly boost your confidence to see a full page of paintings already complete. Also remember to turn the brush settings to "Transfer --> Opacity Jitter --> Pen Pressure" This will allow you to control the opacity of your paint using the pressure of the tablet pen. Keep sketching and painting...looking forward to seeing more :)
ReplyDeletehi jordan, yes, i turned to pen pressure but every time i change brushes it will jump back to the normal setting , is there anyway i can keep my settings?? thank you :)
DeleteHi Leung,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of thumbnailing and Photoshop. You have a promising start here, but as Jordan says finishing a sheet will boost your confidence.
Try saving your brushes as a tool preset to preserve your custom settings. This will make it easier to go back to a brush that you use regularly. If you aren't too sure then drop by DM0 tomorrow and I can run you through it.
thank you very much :)
