I have worked with programs like Photoshop quite a lot over the
last two years. I learned a lot of new techniques and different ways
of working on my old course. I don’t use Photoshop a lot for drawing despite knowing how to use
it. I prefer to draw by hand but digital is sometimes a better option because it’s
faster. Also I think Photoshop is an important tool for cleaning up hand
drawing work.
I have used Photoshop recently in my work. For my fantasy animal
illustrations I used Photoshop to clean the image and add colour. At home I work
on a bamboo graphics tablet, which is what I used for the drawing below.
The image below shows some different brush techniques which I
use in Photoshop. All these images were created using default brushes. The far left images show some different types of line work. You can achieve pretty much
any type of line in the program. The colourful image at the top was drawn using
a texture brush with low flow. This gives you a painted look and is good for
shading. The small landscape sketch was drawn using the same brush and one of
the faded brushes. These are just some quick examples which I will look at in
more detail. Also below is a screen shot of my Photoshop layout.
