StylesDavis, i really dig this ... such a real feeling! Great colors ... and such a cold-day atmosphere. The best i've seen from you so far!

Here is one i've started in opencavas to give a tutorial for a friend about painting.
On the second one i finsihed it with my favourite photoshop custombrushes. Wink

damn the level of the work here rises all the time (great work everyone), hard to keep up

two half hour images from photoref taken something like a km from where I live: The ref for the first one was taken a couple of months ago and the second one today. I might make an other one tomorrow before the sun sets. The snow is looking awsome in the sunligt, really yellow in the light and really blue in the shadow, well hopfully you'll see tomorrow

Wohoo. I'm back.
After losing my job and my internet for about 2 months ago, I have gotten a hold of the latter: Internet.

In celebration I'm gonna post this.
About an hour.

Spooge: at first, your recent works are so friging awesome.. another. if this case is simple, might I ask you how do you work with opacity settings? with over 80% opacity brushes I feel like Evil or Very Mad

Mon, I would love to take credit for that, but that is wyeth for you. The design in his paintings is so subtle, almost cartoonish, very simplified and sometimes wildly exaggerated, sometimes amazingly accurate. It is the one thing that set him apart from a lot of imitators. I think this is why I like him better than Pyle, in some cases. More art going on there.

Zhuzhu, Um tips� Uh, textures need variety, (the need for contrast sticking up again) Flat against active, mostly. You can make some parallel with what the true texture on an object is, but in the end, at least with me, it is a design decision, based on the needs of the abstract quality of the image. What I mean by that is the image has to be interesting divorced from the subject, so does it look interesting when turned upside down? Is there enough interest to keep the eye occupied? I use the brushes that come with PS for the most part, I have a brush that is made from the grayscale of a dead tree, but that is about it. The best way to get complexity into things is to work additively and subtractively. Put it on take it off, multiple times. Be awake for interesting things happening. Go with it when it does.

Tomasis, I work with the opacity mapped to pen pressure. Then you can get just what you want at any time. When I painted with a mouse I had my left hand hovering over the keypad to change things quickly. Worked pretty well.

If I could say one thing about the detail thought, that is cool, but be precise about what you DO put down. Not detail. I think there is a confusion about precision and detail they are not the same. Like in music, forte means loud, not faster as well. That is a different thing, but it seems they always do the two together, louder and faster. So for example with your picture of the search light, get the ellipses correct, and make sure the beam is coming correctly out of the cylinder. IS the depth of the searchlight believable? How about the relationship between the wall and the light and support? All these things are communicated through just a few big simple shapes, but they are really important. And don�t think I mean you have to use the ellipse tool to make a razor sharp shape, it can be very loose, but correct at the same time. Hard to explain.

I stop flapping my lip now.
