Another time lapse video
Still learning to use time lapse software!
This time I’m painting a dog in photoshop. I’m unable to show the full image (or the finished image) just yet, but you can see bits of what I’m doing here, and the finished image should be available for release reasonably soon.

And now – Painting In Real Time!
It seems I’m going nuts with the video software I downloaded.
This is my first go at uploading a video of me painting in real time, and talking as I go.
Don’t get to excited – the conversational content is pretty bad.
But!
It does give fantastic insight into how boring painting all day can be.
I had to upload it in two parts, as apparently time got away from me once I started.
Part 1
Part 2
If people actually find these interesting or useful, I’ll make sure to do more. The software I’ve gotten makes this ridiculously easy, and I’m never short on stupid tedious shit to say!
And hopefully the quality will improve as I go too. The audio quality leaves a LOT to be desired, but to be fair, I was using a roll of toilet paper as a mic stand…so….that.

Time Lapse!
I recorded my first time lapse painting video today, and thought I’d share.
Unfortunately it took me a few minutes to realise I could adjust the settings to better suit what I was doing, so the start is a bit skewed and poor quality.
Still! I’ll know what to fix for next time, and I figured I’d share it anyway, since I can hardly go back and repaint for a second take.
As usual, I’m working in photoshop. Actual painting for this segment took about 30-45 minutes. I estimate hours being left to do. Hmm.
More (and better quality) videos coming soon!

The secrets of painting skin in photoshop
Firstly, the title to this post is deceptive. There ARE no secrets. It’s just boring and straightforward, no hidden tricks, no secret societies, no special handshakes.
But it did sound good didn’t it?
My skin tones and textures are something people compliment me on a bit, and I often get asked what I did to get those results. So, to finally answer that question (and in a manner better than ‘Uh…paint it that way?’) I present:
My list of things that I do when I’m trying to paint the skin to be the good skin, you know, and not the bad skin, when I am painting, like I often do, because it’s my job.
Told you the original title sounded better! [Read more →]
