[Glory666]

here's my tomato, soz that i dont have step by step pics

I gave the apple a try this morning, I think I did okay for my first try.

[magnel]

This is my first time with glass so it's kind of shakey.

[Morbid]

This thread is inspiring so I had to do one too. Done with mouse, no wacom yet.

[magnel]

yea same here, can't afford one at the moment, plus I'm totally new to digital painting, so yay

[sfox8]

I was watching this thread for a while and I've been trying to improve my painting skills with photoshop. I really want to get into painting humans eventually, so I tried the apple to test my hand a bit. Here's the result.



I've been using PS for a while but this is really my first time seriously 'painting' anything. Hope it looks ok.

here's a quickie, like 20-25 minutes... kinda hard since the light was constantly changing direction at a slow pace.. and also the white texture of the cellophane cup was capturing all kinds of colors and shadows! tough tough....

[GriNGo]

here's the same cellophane cup, buy without that harsh light.. it's more neutral now.. took me like 15 minutes.

You can go to "control Panel/WacomTableProperties/TipFeel"

[terra_pike]

you guys are amazing. I'm kind of a newbie to digital painting and it's a little intimidating seeing how far along you all already are. (inspiring though )
I have a question- how do you know which colors to choose when painting from life? I find myself staring at the fruit or whatever and trying to match up the colors in photoshop but they end up being totally different. like a darker weirder version of the actual fruit. how do you really know if the colors are right? It must be a vague question but I would seriously appreciate any answers, thanks

[just_genes]

This is such an awesome idea and Min you are a legend! Have a kiwi fruit.

[ruf]

no fruit

Hi! This is my first time using this hard brush technique and i have to say that i totally love it! I'm throwing away my soft edge brushes and smudge tools
Also i believe this is my first ever digital still life painting, I learnt loads doing this exercise so i thank this thread for inspiring me to do it.

Enjoy my fruit! Crits comments and very much appreciated.

[mtmtmt]

Well, I'm totally new here, but I thought I'd jump right in. I've got a lot of exp in photoshop, so know most of the shortcuts, but my traditional skills are nonexistant. Hopefully I'll be able to change that here.
Here's my apple. A bit frustrating that a painting this bad took me somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 hours, but I guess both accuracy and speed will improve with time. Crit is greatly appreciated should anyone want to offer any. Muchas gracias.

I just got a wacom Intous 3 tablet at the black friday maddness and and new laptop, I am using the photshop elements that came with the tablet. I never took art classes or stuff but always did drawing and stuff. Painting is totaly new to me.
this is my first try at painting anything.

[Stryyf]

So I learned allot and tried another apple with no ref. it turned out a bit better, but man this is hard, i been messing with try'n to do something other then an apple and man it is hard, I am having a hard time making a decent circle or straight line even on this pad, is that something you just re-learn?

[fishamit]

New here & My apple:
first time with colors, using a Wacom tablet.

I'm having a hard time keeping the outlines smooth as you can see (especially in the lower outlines of the apple) any suggestions?

[Ramennoodles518]

Uh, I don't know if we're still getting critiques anymore of if we're just showing our attempts, but here's mine:



I have the steps saved in case anyone wants to see them. This is my first go at a digital painting. Please feel free to rip it apart. I want to get better!

And yes that apple was really that shiny. It had three light sources on it. I felt like I didn't quite nail the values, and that I may have overdone the reflected light source a bit. Thoughts?

[SpaceRogue]

I know this isn't done in PS, but its pretty much tesame thing. I'm trying to step over to OC with painting :3

this was a really nice practice

[V1nz3L]

I was like . . . 'lets make an apple' . . . and then 2 hours later this popped up. . . ive got no idea ho to ad those intense details
Please rate my apple out of 10 or leave a comment.









raaaaaawr!!!!

[colin_burke1985]

ok bumskee. thanks for all this info. but sadly this is not helping me. i know what you mean when you say it, but i cant apply it cause i cant see how it is done. do you know of any videos i can look up that are on the net i can watch to see how to do this blending?
i dont have money to pay for these tutoirals.
hope someone can help me out, cause i been trying all day and cant even do the first step at things. not that im a bad drawer, its just photoshop itself doesnt do what i am trying to do

[Idiot Apathy]

MOO~!
