This is another post about how I work digitally in Photoshop - quite different from the previous one which was hand drawn and imported into Photoshop. The image above was created entirely on the computer. There are still layers, as you can see by the images below - though this drawing doesn't have many at all compared to other work I've done.
Look! No background.
Look! No hair....
The images below are reference photos I collected from the internet. These are images I refer to in order to get a level of accuracy. Sometimes I use a photo as a background - this is one I took from my kitchen window on a foggy morning in the place we used to live under the karris (bottom centre). I've manipulated it using 'Adjustments' - probably several adjustments actually (I can't remember) and also a couple of the same image overlaid and manipulated using different 'Layer' modes (there's a dropdown menu for that).
Your creativity is wonderful! I enjoy seeing all the disparate pieces and how it all came together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tara. I hope it inspires you in your own creative pursuits.
DeleteI see a piece of art like that and imagine that the artist has pulled it all out of their head (and of course, the inspiration and final image is yours alone)
ReplyDeleteIt's stupid how revolutionary it feels to find out you use reference images :)
Oh! That's really cool.
ReplyDeleteBut of course you reference images.
