I am a student at the Art Institute of Philadelphia. I have been using Painter for about six months. "The View" was done in Painter 5.0 using pastels, blur, and lighting effects tools.
drawing worked in Photoshop
I am a 15 year-old graphics designer. I used photoshop and a digital camera, and bryce3d
Been an artist for 40 years, digital for 10, used Superpaint and Adobe Photoshop and pressure sensitive Wacom Tablet with Mac. (Sumi training for 20 years). The figure is not me but is close to where I am.
The original drawing was taken from an image of a comicbook character called Shi. My friends said that image looked like me, so I decided to paint a self-portrait. To make the background I traced the texture using some kind of pastels and then adding the texture in Detailer. The drawing, again, I traced the image in Painter 5, then I drew the cat in Painter 5. I had a hard time doing the shadows and the shining around the bodies. To make the shining effect I used the feather mask tool. Then I cloned the composition to cancel the floter selections.
Enclosing "Me" which I sketched, scanned, colored and played with in Painter 5 and then composited with one of my fractals. This was my first attempt in Painter, which I just got a few weeks ago.
Peeling my face off was not as painful as it looks. I used an Umax Astra 600S scanner, cleaned up the image and did the dental work in Photoshop on a 68040 Mac and used Webdings type for the characters over my head. I feel much better today.
