Painting in Photoshop Class!!

Whoo hoo! I am finally enrolled in taking classes one at a time at the Society of Visual Storytelling and I can't wait to dive into the videos. There's a lot to cover and I know that I am working on the human anatomy as well. I am going to first focus on painting in photoshop, breathing life into character designs, and perspective. Then I plan on getting into more in-depth composition and illustration painting techniques. I am working on that and studying adobe illustrator as well to get more hands on with it so that I can do more than creating little things.

I am so thankful where I am at with my journey and I can't wait to dive in and improve my artwork. It's one day at a time. :) So, I'm starting with this one first. It's called Painting in Photoshop. It goes in depth about how artists in the field several of them who work at amazing studios across the US use photoshop. They give hands on tutorials and It's great!

Getting the Basics of Adobe Illustrator and Beginning Adobe Photoshop Classes for Improvement

I have just recently gotten all the Adobe Suite Programs and now I finally have time to dive into programs and projects! :) So, I have been brushing up on my Adobe Illustrator skills most importantly. I have been using Adobe Photoshop for years but, Adobe Ilustrator I have only been using on and off. I have been watching tutorials and I'm hoping soon I can post and show you all some nice work in Adobe Illustrator. Let the tutorials begin! :)

I'm also getting ready to start working with this amazing tutorial site for artists! :) My teacher showed me this because I mentioned that I was thinking of going back to school and this he said was the better option. Now that I have the art equipment I will be able to start courses. :)

Here's the website :)

5/22-Hopeful

I finally got a temporary art setup! I got a new laptop from my brother that I bought and now I have access to all the Adobe Programs from my friend and the Adobe Creative Suite from my older brother. God is good! I am so thankful and so this is my new setup and the other picture is the first drawing I did with my Wacom tablet. It wasn't as bad as I thought so that's awesome! :)

Distant Skies- Jordan Exploration

This is just some character exploration for my main character Jordan from my story. It's about a girl, who in her teen years learns that she has a special power where she is able to transform into a guardian creature and she finds out she must use it to protect her world. I'm going to get some design work laid out and then begin to work on this story with my older brother to get further with the writing and design. :) I'm excited! On the plus note, I am going to be furthering my work on some other projects as well. I thought why not now I should start working on my stories.
