06/09/07 - Digital - Photoshop CS2 painting practice

As I stated in an earlier post - I struggle with finding a method to paint in Photoshop. Here I have included a practice piece based on a tutorial from 2dArtist (an excellent online PDF art instruction magazine) by Henning Ludvigson.

Not nearly as nice as what he demonstrates - I have put my questions down on the piece. The basic idea is that you frequently re sample the color for your brush (with less opacitiy or flow?) after you originally block in 3 or 4 shades across a curving surface. The goal is to have a nice blend across the color transtions - NOT THAT I DEMONSTRATE THAT HERE!
