This was my first attempt at painting with photoshop. I started messing around on my Wacom Bamboo tablet, trying to get a feel for the brush tool. A client of mine is creating a music website with an avian theme, and I was inspired to paint soft feathers. I'm happy with how it came out. Any tips or suggestions, please comment!
Looks good a like it. Can i just say if you define the lines more to make it look like a feather you could turn this single feather into a bird of preys head? that would be clever!! =) ps welcome to dribbble.
@Carl Goldson Wow, I love that idea! I can see it now! Would I turn that into a "rebound?" I'm still learning the nomenclature of the dribbble community :D And thanks!
@Fabio Benedetti Thanks! So excited to be here! Being a freelancer can be like working in a bubble, so it's nice to have a place to be inspired and to interact with other creatives!
Beautiful :) Definitely a great start. One good way to help clean up your work is roughing in the values first with a harder-edged brush, and then going in to soften things up afterwards.
@Avi Jacob, thank you so much for the guidance! I'm new to starting out with values first in my painting, but it makes so much sense. I work with black pen in my moleskine a lot, so it will feel somewhat familiar. I'm excited to try it out with the Wacom. Thanks for the encouragement!
