Dani’s Videos #13: Monster Portrait
This was a little Photoshop painting experiment where I tried to use as many layer tricks as possible. In the split-screen view, you will see my painting on one side and a close-up of the Layers palette in the other. See if you can spot all of the effects/tools/shortcuts that I use.

New Bookstore Page
I wanted to take a moment to point out that there is now an official DaniDraws.com Amazon Bookstore. You can find the link at the top of the page, or just go here.
I wanted to have some cool way to share all the cool books and stuff that I like, and keep an archive of my “Books of the Month.” Amazon.com provides a pretty nifty way to do that. Plus, if you end up buying anything, a small percentage helps support the site. I don’t mean to get all commercial on you…I just like art books A LOT!
All of the stuff in the store are products I can personally recommend. I will try to keep it updated as I think of more stuff or new books come out. Enjoy!
