Digital Painting #1


So here's even more variety! This was some Harry Potter fan art that I did about a year and a half ago. (If you aren't familiar with Harry Potter, it's a dementor, as I originally envisioned it in my head). I used a Wacom Intuous 4 graphics tablet to draw this digitally in Photoshop CS4. The dementor was drawn entirely in Photoshop, from sketch to finish, using a few different layers and simple brushes. The background was a combination of a cloud brush I have and some filters, all different colors and at different opacities. I would consider this to be my first real digital painting, and I was very proud of how it came out.


I wish I had more of this type of work to show now, but with school, and sports, and the other thousand things I do, I don't have too much spare time for my own art. So, this will probably be the only digital art for some time. I hope to do more digital art once I graduate from high school in June. But for the upcoming weeks, I will be back to posting my schoolwork: traditional pieces of some kind or another.

As always, thoughts and feedback would be awesome!
