This week’s photoshop tutorial comes to you from here, The idea behind the tutorial is great, but my attention span lost focus as always and I ended up faking my way through the rest, ignoring the directions and everything like that to do what ever gave me a result I was happy with, well here it is… Also, make sure to check out iRelle for her take on the same tutorial!

Tonight I attempted THIS photoshop tutorial after not having done any photoshop work in a long time, the tutorial was simple and easy to follow, a good one to get me back into the swing of things with it. Now I just need to get back into the swing of things with blogging. Anyhow, as usual, my attempts never turn out like the tutorials. I have a short attention span and start doing what ever I like near the end, skipping bits and pieces etc. So with out further ado… here is my finished work. Tada!

Sketch it?

After last nights drawing of iRelle, I once again whipped out the drawing tablet, and this time I drew a picture I had of iKoz. Once again, the style is different, I attempted colouring, but Kyles skin tone is naturally more tan than Anna and the colour scheme didn’t work and I didn’t want to make him look like a Block of Chocolate either. Colouring Fail!

Today when I started drawing, I didn’t want to just draw another photo that I had in my collection, I was watching an episode of Chuck at the time and decided, hell why not. Got a screen capture and started drawing away with my tablet. and here is my result. Not the best. The NOSES are too high. I think its because of how I draw the eyes… Im no good with eyes. Then the noses end up too high and yeah, So tell me. What do you think?

EDIT: Tried to fix the nose. Tell me if you think the nose on Chuck is better (old version on thread thumbnail)

Cartoon Claire

So you all should have seen my first attempt at drawing in photoshop using my Tablet earlier in the week, I wasn’t happy with it, and today in a spout of boredom I decided to give it another go, but this time I wanted a different style. With the first one, I tried too hard to get a perfect representation. Trying to get each line perfect etc. But today I decided to go for more of a rough attempt. More on the run cartoonish feel, so here it is below. A drawing of @ClaireMichelle, it took me roughly 2 hours to complete.

Photoshop Sketching

iDigDan — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 13:37:01 +0000

So, I’ll try any type of art once… hell I went to Live Drawing in college (nekkid people) and I like trying new things, and I’m in no way an expert in any forms of them. But I’ve definitely found one thing that I am not good at. After seeing some pictures that Anna Relle did using here Wacom Tablet, sketching images. I thought I would try it myself with the typical, anything you can do I can do better frame of mind… well that didn’t work out. Below is my result… but to see some actual good work.

After getting into the swing of things yesterday with the photoshop tutorial on How to Turn yourself into an Avatar Na’vi, I decided to bust out the old Photoshop once again and try another tutorial. Watercolour picture effect These tutorials have been extremely easy and they are a great step by step, even if you don’t want to re-create their original image.

After logging into Windows 7 today and using Windows Live Messenger and the Ninemsn popup was going on about how people had edited photos of celebrities to look like the Na’vi from James Cameron’s AVATAR. The pictures were interesting and made me wanted to make myself a personal Na’vi, I eventually found THIS link which had step-by-step instructions on how to Na’vi yourself and I decided to give it a go. My result is no where near as good, it really shows that I’m out of practice when it comes to Photoshop, but this may just make me find more tutorials and such in the future!

Church Challenge

So Anna decided to throw down a Photoshop challenge, usually I’m the one setting the challenges so it was a bit weird to be on the receiving end of a challenge. Even though it wasn’t a competition I still decided to give it ago. When I saw the stock image that she had chosen for the Photoshop challenge I had no idea what I was going to do with the image, but then something hit me, I’m not sure how happy I am with this piece. Its the first real work I’ve done in photoshop for ages.

The simple rule was that the image could be manipulated in anyway you see fit, but at least 1 element of the image must be recognisable / remain and now that I think about it I could have done something completely different! Like just keep the door or something randomly.. but oh well I’m done now! You should join in as well! Check out iRelle for the Info!

Self Portrait Week

iDigDan — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:25:51 +0000

So this weeks theme for Blogs is Self Portraits and after looking at both iRelle and Tiggy dreams Blogs I decided to whip out the old Photoshop, I havent used Photoshop that much since getting my Macbook as iPhoto that comes with it has all the basic editing elements you would need, I played around with a few brushes and colours and well you get this. Enjoy.
