More digital images

Here are a few more images created on the computer. I'm working on some new promotion brochures and am experimenting with new styles and techniques. A self portrait is included as well as an older image mimicking a Dali painting. It always amazes me what can be accomplished on the computer, and it's fun experimenting with this new medium.

Cover for new promotion piece

I decided to use one of the images from the last post for a new promotion brochure. I felt that this image would make a dramatic cover design. Also shown is the rear cover design. These images were all created on a Mac computer using Photoshop Elements 3.

More multiple digital images

The first image is an illustration that I created in Photoshop Elements 3.  The other images are some other variations that I tried, using various color schemes and design shapes. Doing art digitally allows an artist to do several versions of the same image for evaluation purposes easily. If you are an artist that works on the computer I encourage you to try this method, it's a great learning process, as I've said many times.

The advantage of working digitally

One of the main benefits of doing art on the computer is that one can easily create several different versions of the same image for evaluation. Trying to accomplish this using traditional mediums is very difficult and time consuming. An added value is that the ability to do different versions of a specific image can be part of a learning, growing experience which can enhance an artist's creative ability. Posted here are two sets of images in which I have created different color versions. These were all done using Photoshop Elements 3.






















 

More digital figure studies

Here is a new digital figure study with its negative version. Also two negative studies of the figures from the previous post. Adding a few different colors to the negative versions could make them look even more appealing, although these examples are quite interesting.
These images show what wonderful effects can be accomplished easily with the computer using Photoshop Elements 3.


































 
  

New digital figure studies

I have been working on a series of new figure studies based on ink line drawings. I first scan in the line art, then manipulate the drawings, then add the color using Photoshop Elements 3. It's a fun technique to experiment with. These will be on display at the Scarlet Macaw Community Art Center in Sawyer, MI. If you are in the area, stop by, several artist are on display.

Above is my original ink line drawing that these color studies are based on.  Below are two studies and negative versions of each.
