More Digital Painting...

So I was asked to do some Christmas cards... and I've been wanting to try out digital painting. This is not bad... what do you think?

Fun...

I have been watching a ton of videos on YouTube on digital painting and decided it was time to relent and try it. If you have ever tried to "paint" in Photoshop with a mouse, the results can be very frustrating and basically bad.

I started watching a lot of Bobby Chiu videos. I have mentioned him in my blog posts before. Bobby is a Toronto artist whose Zen like video narrating style can inspire almost any artist. I am thinking about taking an online course in digital painting from him at schoolism.com... check him out.

However, if you have a graphics tablet I encourage you to give it a try. I was surprised at the very painterly results and played for hours. This is my first stab at a digital painting. Call it a sketch...
