This was my latest Photoshop experiment, titled 'Turtle'. It has this title because that is what it depicts. This was created using a much different process than we are used to using. for one thing we did not focus on drawing the shape as a whole, but on the individual shapes that make it. we also tried to focus on blending the colours.
To paint this I took a different approach than normal. Rather than focusing on the turtles shape as a whole I instead focused on the shapes that join together to build the whole. I started off by sketching the form of the shell using a very light brush as an outline. I then used the image this was based off for sample colours. To get the shades that were used I changed my brush so it was quite soft, the flow and opacity were both changed to 45%.
Talk about the actual process of painting this. For instance how you at first blocked in the shapes and colours of the FORM (not an elephant). Then gradually refined before getting to the details. What flow was your brush? did you use a hard brush or soft brush? What opacity did you use? how did you sample or blend your colours?
