    Here’s a screenshot of my new painting I’m working on right now. I’m going for a really moody foggy look and have this strong cast of warm light from the street lamp. The shot below is the bare bones of how I start my paintings in PSD. I really don’t have any set “rules” on how I start a painting in PSD, its different for each painting. I like to experiment and I’m still learning different techniques myself. The only thing I would say is the same across the board. Is that I always, always work in layers (esp. labeled layers). I have to keep my file organized. If I don’t I would be wrackin’ my mind trying to figure out what layer something is on that I either need to delete or work on.

    Hi everyone! You may remember my ABC Circus series I had started a couple months back. Well, since I’ve been really getting into working digitally. I’ve decided to revisit this series and redo the final pieces. I’ve only done the letters “R” and “P”. You can see the previous watercolor versions here. Tell me which version you like the best, the digital or the watercolor?

    The Sketchbook Project: 2011

    Hi everyone, I just found out about this cool project from a fellow illustrator I follow on twitter yesterday. I read the rules and looked over the themes and signed up asap! I can’t wait to get started, really looks like it will be a lot of fun. This is my first time heard of the Sketchbook Project, so I didn’t wait to pass up this years event. Click on the picture above and check it out.

    My interpretation of “Alice in Wonderland” Mad Hatter Tea Party. I just finished this piece a few minutes ago. I was thinking it could also work for this weeks IF. Some people may have a lil tea in the morning for breakfast to get over a “mad” last night…
