I don’t do digital painting that often, but I’ve been drawing more and I thought it would be fun to take a sketch from my pad and see it through digitally.
Photoshop CS4 was terribly slow through about half the process. I couldn’t even paint in real time on my tablet. I installed CS5 and the problem went away. No more slow down. At the MIGS convention last year one of the artist from Volt had a great suggestion. He mentioned that you can have two copies of the same document in Photoshop open at the same time. This helps you always have a one to one version up on a separate monitor. I loved doing this. It was really helpful to be zoomed in working on one screen and then be able to see how my changes were effecting the 1:1 scaled document on the other. This option is under the “Window” > “Arrange” menu.
I’ll be back soon with another project. I’m just testing out how I can create some really great looking moss using polygons. That’s part of why I painted some into this scene.
I also wanted to say “Thank you” to everyone who have been sending in questions. I’ve been getting a lot more than I usually do and they’re always fun to answer.
