2d painting sketching in photoshop

[eparts]

Hey, my name is Egil Paulsen. I am more of a 2Dartist, but I hope you will appreciate a little walktrough the way I sketch out a picture from scratch.

Note that in the background I use a stock photo for inspiration. I later took that away and painted a sky for the final image.

The final image is available on my website

enjoy

this is awesome!
i didnt know that this is possible in Photoshop... i thought u need a Painter or something like that...
amazing! simply amazing!
i checked out your website.... astonishing...
have made any tutorials on photomanipulations? If you havent, then make atleast one which covers blending bodyparts together like you did in your Deathangel piece...

well done, i'm doing the tutorial myself as well, i'm not that skilled with drawing in photoshop, thanks a lot!

wow, that's great, I wish I could squeeze more time into the day? I love wathing the speed video, reminded me of when I used to watch tv and see artists teach how to paint.

I canonly admire at the moment but I'm happy to know that 'one day' I'll paint and that there are resources like yours to help me get there

Nice work... also saw the rest of your digital paintings, very good

do you use a pen and tablet? or do you just use the mouse? for your paintings?

[Jelmer]

it's impossible to do those kind of drawings with just a mouse i think, i've got a crappy tablet myself and that's already a huge difference from a mouse, mainly because you can make more natural movements and the pen pressure determines the thickness of the brush.

i have a bad tablet.. the pen is falling to bits lol (i knew i shouldnt have tried to eat it...) and sometimes the point gets stuck, so i usually nick my brothers one lol Nice tut btw.

Hey there,
Just a quick question:
What type of drawing tablet do you use?

I need to start drawing and painting, but do I use photoshop or illustrator? I can't decide. Why do so many people use photoshop when Illustrator is a drawing package with more features?
