Corel Painter

So far I have been focusing on Photoshop painting.This is a girl pic that i did in Corel Painter Essentials 3 (I was part of my Wacom tablet DVD ) it took me 40 min to finish it, pretty fast( actually pic is full body but since she is nude I post only detail:))!!! and i worked exclusively in Painter: the sketch, the colours, the line work....I used the Pencil tool only....I think I'm going to devote some time to Painter and may be get the X or other version...

New PS painting

Stage 3
Stage 2
Stage 1

After few test fast Photoshop painting of feces you have seen in the previous posts I finally started something more COLOURFUL:) I checked few guys on the net to get more info about painting techniques and I started, I'm showing my steps here:
  1. In the first stage i started with very basic colours and shapes trying to build values more than details, my image settings are 15cm. x 17 cm.(6' x 7') with 300 dpi, so I used large soft edge round brushes 300-500 ( that's right three to five hundred).
  2. More details.....brushes 50-200, manipulating the opacity 10-100%
  3. And it's coming.....once i have it done i will post it:)
So far it took me 3 1/2 - 4 hours

Few days ago I found Niklas Janson amazing tutorial on Photoshop digital painting (or any type of digital painting:) check him out. i can honestly say this guy's stuff just launched me into another space of digital painting. Thank u man!
I did this fast digital sketch in an hour time with only soft/hard edge brushes different opacity NO SMUDGE TOOL:)

Oops I did it again!


I just worked out a new board for the surf girl...soon i will post some "ready" variants :)
