The Discovery day...

pink hair girl.jpg

I was pushed almost by force to keep on training on the new drawing toy. I managed to do everything I had to and finally took it out of the box and try some new stuff.
My dream is to be able to use Photoshop for the drawings. They don't have to be great or professional. But I would like to feel comfortable with the program, pad and the pen to be able to get things done fast. You know... like I know what I am doing and clicking and getting the result because this is what I want and now this is what I came up with by accident.
The pink hair girl (a selfie except that I don't have pink hair... nor fringe...) was done in an online free editor.

Then I watched some youtube videos how to draw nose and other face parts. So obviously after opening Photoshop I started with that. A day without drawing some faces is a day wasted!
Took me a while to find the brush I wanted. Damn I just love that pencil effect!!
And I think the nose came out pretty decent :p

I got bored.. come on.. how many lips can I draw?
So I started to look what else is there. Trying brushes, effects and how they complement each other. And

I came to conclusions - I have shit loads to learn!! And then I came to second conclusion: After I figure out which brush I like the most and what effect I like... its gonna be easy.. I probably don't even need the rest. Just quickly grab the ones I like. Boyyaaa :) I see progress!
With all the testing and trying I ended up (still purely by accident) with this apple. I used 3 different tools/brushes here.
And again... three completely different styles..

Ok. I think it's enough gibberish for today.
Progress noted and saved in the blockchain :)

How long have you been learning photoshop?

Posted using Partiko Android

For drawing purposes... maybe a week.
I normally just edit photos there. Which is very, VERY basic. Crop, enhance, fix some flaws and that's it.

Photoshop is great with pen tablets. I rarely use it for drawing though even though i've worked with photoshop for 20 years or more lol.

Yeaaa that is what I am trying to learn. So many options! And the pens works differently than with a regular mouse. So much cooler :)

I just got an xp pen tablet to try some drawing in photoshop, just need to find the time to use it. So far it is a really good product. Now what to draw...

Super 😀 The apple is cool.
I have a similar plan - I want to learn how to draw with a tablet and a pencil. So good luck and I'm happy to watch you make progress.

Thank you!
Let me tell you... it is not easy :) But everyone says that it is better and with practice I will learn. So I practice....
