cgmythology - Thanks! I feel like one of the good things about this course is helping me get a bettter understand of photoshop, I know the main functions but little tricks like enabling color dynamics (which Is what I did here for the colour shifts) is something I probably wouldnt have known about hahaha.
JosephCow - Hahahahaha I was surprised myself by how well it turned out truth be told, I thought it might work out ok but I'd have to go and clean it up afterwards but nope! :) I definitely work better with a set structure/process which I find this course does really well, would have liked for a paint over video of past students attempts/the instructors attempt at the homework but sadly there isnt one with the course. Yh I definitely agree about the hard edges, kinda felt like these took alott longer than they should have but I'm guessing it's becuase I dont have much practice with digital painting.
Definitely want to do some more studies and then attempt all these assignments again once I've worked through them once already to help cement the ideas.
Not a whole lot this week as my time has been rather divided. I've started on the week 2 assignment which is painted woodand leather but I wasn't able to finish it this week so the plan is to tick it off this week.
Painted Wood
Here is the first part of the homework which was to complete an observation study and then apply that knowledge to a differentt form to help it sink in. Mainly used the brushes provided to create the wood chips etc but I noticed in one of the slides in the notes that the instructor's observation study was completed using only a round hard brush rather than the texture brushes, so I tried the same for the 2nd cylinder - if that makes sense?
Sketchbook
I always forget to share my sktehcbooks so decided to change that and include some random imaginary sketches from a few months back :)
