- My attempt at a photorealistic lamp.
I’ve been spending more time in Photoshop recently starting first with sketching on a tablet. I recently switched from using all CS2 products to CS3 so I am still getting familiar with it. Yes, I am far, far behind since CS4 is already out but I probably will never need those new features. I was able to get some sketches down but I needed to learn some techniques to paint. As usual, I would Google everything scouring the net for tutorials, walkthroughs, and videos on some of these tips. I found some pretty great videos (not actually tutorials) of some artists literally all digital tablet gods at painting in Photoshop. **Sidenote: Is it even more difficult to paint in MS Paint? Not only is it amazing to watch the videos it also motivates me to practice more and get to a certain respectable level.
Scouring through the web looking for photorealism painting in Photoshop, I found this tutorial offered from Layers Magazine. I always find myself browsing at their magazines at the local Barnes and Nobel or Borders bookstores and am debating about actually subscribing. They got great tips, tricks and tutorials. If you want to get me a donation, that’ll be great too!
Here are a couple other great tutorials that offer techniques to achieve that photorealism:
I have found some great videos on photorealistic illustrations in Photoshop:
