Painting Digitally the Good Old Fashioned Way 2

By ABMeneses

This is the second of my digital painting tutorial and I hope you find this book as enjoyable and as informative as the first book.

As a recap, it has always been my dream to use Photoshop as an actual painting tool. And that is the conventional method of actually painting. You know, that actual rub-a-dub-dub, brush, brush sort of thing.

Others will ask, why not make use of the software advanced features? Why go through this route when there is an easier way? Yup, there’s no contest, the features of Photoshop are so much easy to use and much faster. Just a click here and there and presto, you’ve got a work that looks like a real painting.

However, creating painting-like-artworks using the features of Photoshop gives me that hollow feeling inside. You might think it is weird but that’s exactly how I feel. Even if I did it myself, I cannot own it because to me it’s a product of technology that anybody can re-create in the same manner.

Again, let me be clear. I have nothing but praises for those artists that specializes in this digital wizardry. Theirs is another different world from mine, another time and another place.

But my method makes me happy. There’s contentment and a sense of accomplishment every time I finish my painting work.

So that’s it, I’m back to what I called earlier... the good old fashioned way...back to the basics of painting — using Photoshop. Then again, as a reminder, I won’t be using its advanced features, filters and plug-ins. I will do everything M-A-N-U-A-L-L-Y. Remember canvas, paints, brushes etc. etc. — the things we use in traditional painting? Technically, I will still be using them albeit a difference. Instead of using real canvas, brushes and paints, I will be using its digital version (plus some!)
