I was having trouble thinking of something for 100% but I started doodling and I came up with this character that is 100% evil. This is not at all typical of what I draw. But I saw Sweeney Todd and Batman Begins this week. I guess it has got me in a creepy, dark mood.

I think the best way to get a grasp of what can be done with graphics software is to view other artist's work. So I wanted to mention a few more digital artists that I keep in my inspiration folder (sometimes called my "why-do-I-bother" folder) All these artists use the same software but create very different work - all of it wonderful.
I said in my last post that it's rather difficult to get a watercolor effect on the computer. But Paula Becker's images are done using Painter. And her fun children's illustration have a nice airy feel to them that reminds me of watercolor washes.
Elizabeth Dulemba uses both Photoshop and Painter for her illustrations. Check out this step-by-step progression from her blog.
Carlyn Beccia uses Painter and Photoshop to create wonderfully lush images.
John Nez is primarily a traditional artist but also has a nice gallery of digital work on his website created with Photoshop and Illustrator. Go to the studio section of his site for a discussion of how he uses the computer to create his illustrations.

I've been slacking on my blogging this week. It's the last week of school for the kiddos and I've been face painting my little fanny off at various elementary school functions.
The following is a piece of mine will give you an idea of the smudgy painterly style that you can accomplish using Photoshop.
Photoshop is my tool of choice. I purchased Painter years ago (version 7) and found it ran REALLY slow on my PC compared to Photoshop so that's why I gravitated toward Photoshop. But I've been told Painter it is much better now and in fact I just received my brand new Painter-X CD in the mail last night and I'm going to give it another chance.
Photoshop is an industry standard tool that has very large user base and very active support forums. It's also a very stable and robust piece of software. I'm amazed an how stable it is. Every publisher I've worked with has been able to accept and sometimes prefer to receive images in Photoshop file format. And there are gobs and gobs of books on the market about how to use Photoshop.
Here's a photoshop piece by Brandon Dorman. Check out the rest of his website. I don't know if it's all Photoshop but it IS all wonderful.
Check out Scott E. Franson's work for instance. His lovely children's illustrations (done using Illustrator and Photoshop) definitely have a digital feel to them but they are also sweet and fresh looking.
Hopefully I gave you some ideas about where to start exploring the world of digital art and maybe inspired you to start playing with some of these tools. Because, above all, digital painting is really fun (and it doesn't stain your clothes!)
fine! love the style and colors!
Nice job.
