A Little Painting
Here's a bit of fun... at least I had fun making it.
I'm experimenting with making movies to show how I create illustrations. I figure if I ever do presentations, it'd make for an interesting mix in the digital slide show. There's no reason a digital slide show couldn't include movies these days. It's all done in iMovie, which I find is very fun to work with.
The music is a bit sappy, but that can change. I tried the 'Ken Burns Effect' on the still photos... that's always interesting.
I could imagine making movies about the rough sketches, the finish pencils, making changes, using InDesign... and more of a step by step process of how it'd all be done. I'll definitely need better lighting and a tripod. It's hard to paint with one hand and hold a camera with the other!
There's just something about watching an artist at work...

cool! So you're scanning them in and adding effects in Painter? Thanks for sharing
I love this!
Similar question- SO, you draw by hand, scan in the line, then paint, then back to the computer for effects? I didn't realize you still use so much "traditional" stuff!
Thanks for the kind words....
I do 90% of my drawing & painting on real paper... but both the drawing & painting both have a trip through my 'Digital Maytag' before the final product comes out.
Makes life easier and more interesting! It's actually Photoshop that I use... I tried Painter but found it a bit harder to use.
:0)
LOVE IT!~
Wow! A movie is even better than pictures. Nice job with that. Fun seeing how you work.

This is just too cool! I love seeing this kind of thing.
That was great - my daughter was watching over my shoulder making 'oooh and ahhh!' sounds - she loved it!
(so did I - thanks!!)
Thanks! Nothing like a crowd pleaser.
I think I finally figured out what that music reminded me of... the theme song to 'Queen for a Day'!
LOL!
That's great! Thanks for showing us. I look forward to more of your movies.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm a fan of Photoshop over Painter, too. Also, YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED! I was tagged by Sherry Rogers...if you'd like to play, please visit my blog to see the rules!
Marvellous, I have been engrossed, especially when you were actually painting! (There is Nothing like watching someone else work!)
