"Elf & Landscape" by Ilana R. MacDonald

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 8 out of 33 by Ilana R. MacDonald. ←Previous - Next→


	A Photoshop experiment that I did when I first discovered the opacity slider on the brush tool... 'Oh my God! It looks like a charcoal drawing!' I thought. It opened up a whole new level of possibilities for computer drawing.

8 May 2005	Merran Eby	Loading... grins Welcome to the world of the Opacity Slider! I like the shading you did here ^^ And there's a background! Now I feel lazy. Some constructive criticism: perhaps her ear could have a bit more detail. Also - though I don't know if you did this on purpose - her hair seems a little rough. That does fit with the style of the piece, however. ^^ Ilana R. MacDonald replies: "Thanks for the advice. I always tend to do my elf ears with little detail, but maybe I'll figure out how to do otherwise someday. Yeah, the hair's a little rough too, but that's because I was so sick of the drawing after the face was done that I just left it be. If I was to do it over, I think I'd have used layers too. I actually did the whole thing in the background layer."
