Stapler Illustration (3/3)
For this week, I wanted to try a digital painting style, with more realism to it than my previous techniques. I worked in Photoshop using Kyle brushes, and my Wacom tablet. I used a few greens, and just kept building up the shadows and highlights to add depth, until I was happy with it. When I was about halfway through, I couldn’t find out why it looked flat and not quite right, but I built up the shadows and highlights to be much stronger, and it really added the depth and detail that I was looking for. I tried to use some brushes that would have a sort of gritty and textured style to keep the image interesting and have more of a painted look to it.
