New Digital Painting

When its cold outside and numb fingers overrides the urge to venture outdoors to do a bit of photography, I stay indoors and do a bit of digital painting.

Here is my latest painting:

The original done in black and white

and some colour added using a few hue and 

saturation adjustment layers.

A massive improvement from my last digital painting of an eye I attempted last year.

Black and White Digital Painting of an Apple

Black and White Digital Painting of a Pear

Whose Eye?

My first digital painting using only free hand and a photo for reference. I'm happy with the five hour process but the shadows need more work and the pupil is over saturated. Next I will try a left  eye.

Horse Portrait in Watercolour

Yesterday I had a shoot booked with a model but the weather was so bad we had to postpone. Stuck indoors I had a chance to catch up on some digital painting techniques.

Here I used a quick and easy method to create a great looking watercolour of a horse.

This process took more time involving many layers and many different brush shapes while using the
art history brush.

Some fantasy added!
