24th February - Orc oil

This is an oil pastel drawing of the orc I had produced, the reason why I chose to use oil pastels is because it forces you to focus on the right type of colours to help show form and shadow. This oil effect is very similar to how the paint works with photoshop. I tend to get put off when trying to paint on photoshop because of a few reasons, one of them is that its on a monitor and not directly hands on, another is the whole changing of layers, opacity etc. I know you change the setting on the tablet to effect the opacity and thickness but isn't quite the same as a real sketch. 

Enough rambling my point is I feel as if you practise on real painty type designs it'll help when producing work on photoshop.
