Typically, my illustrations are all hand-painted using watercolor and ink. However, tonight I thought it would be fun to take a stab at coloring my illustration via Photoshop for the first time. Last Fall I took a class online but have never really attempted to do anything since then. It was certainly enjoyable overall, watching it slowly come to life, but my poor hand was cramping horribly, practically curled up in a ball when I finished! Oh dear me.
I'm looking forward to turning some of my inktober sketches into cards in the future. Especially this little guy!
awesome work in photoshop Alexandra!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christine--awesome work, Alexandra. Thank you for sharing your process, and all of your designs would make wonderful cards. I didn't get a chance to participate this time around, but I loved viewing everyone's work. :-)
ReplyDeletevery cute and nice digital work :)
ReplyDeleteif you are not using a tablet for digital work its a pain in the hand :/ if you are using a tablet, its just practice so it doesn't hurt, 9or a different pen)

ReplyDeleteI'm loving you inktober cards and this is fun too. In fact I like the ink one the best, in keeping with your others for inktober. Great job.

Alexandra,
ReplyDeleteVery exciting to see you trying different ways of colouring. I am old fashioned and have no clue how to colour on a tablet. Love your drawing and the coloured one too.
Blessings,
Janis
