Painting Experiment

This process I found it to be a second nature because I partially do it anyway the only difference is that I draw an outline instead of blocking out the shapes and then colouring using a colour pallet. Also a difference is that I was using full opacity but now I’ll be using half opacity and flow so I'm able to then work into my drawing thus adding tone. I never once traced the whale picture I had chosen and I couldn't think about what I was drawing

First we found a picture then taken that into Photoshop

-          using the pen tool we taken some colours from dark mid and light tones

-          using the brush tool I had to block out the shape of the whale

-          After that had been done I started to work on the colours, always changing the size of the brush and the colour.
      From learning this technique I will use this in my own project by having the opacity on my brush lowered and the flow so if I mess up on the drawing I can work into it and make it look like less of a mistake instead of rubbing it out
