It has been awhile since I posted a video (First one this year… yikes!). This a small character sketch of Mr. Tumnus from “The Chronicles of Narnia” that I made as a study for one of my paintings. I played a lot with different brushes and textures. Made in Adobe Photoshop.
This is a pretty straightforward sketch made in Photoshop.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
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.
This is a small line and color job done on the computer. I first created my drawing using Adobe Illustrator, then copied it into Photoshop to put some basic paint onto it.
For more information about this process, see my previous posts here:

Here is the first non-digital DaniDraws.com painting video. This is a small character painting I did for fun. You will see me use various media, including acrylic, gouache, oil, and colored pencil.
The original painting is for sale. Find details at danijonesillustration.blogspot.com.
Working with paths in Photoshop isn’t quite as extensive as Adobe Illustrator, but it is enough to create some pretty fun images. In this video, I experiment with the pen tool in Photoshop, utilizing shape layers to create my basic shapes. The beauty of using Photoshop is that I was then able to use the brush tool to add texture and color.
I have been experimenting with more ways to make my technique and methods clear to you viewers. I tried to zoom in on the menus and palettes, and I included a more variety of views to get an overall feel for my workflow. I hope this looks a tad better. Let me know what you think.
, everyone!
