Photoshop Tutorials


In this movie there are are a few types of fixes. One of them is Filters/Liquify, because this was drawn on one layer. If you draw it is best to draw each part on a different layer so it just needs moved or reshaped with Edit/Transform/Distort. With Liquify I used the brush size to cover the area I wanted to move, and put it where I wanted. Any touch ups needed was small and where fixed quickly. Then there is another fixes like color. I used the brush, and set the mode settings to Color, so I could use the colors and opacity to brush in colors, and white or black to tone down the colors to get the color I wanted. Recoloring with a brush is what I started years ago with the tutorial Make it Snow. This Tutorial was designed to show you how to just jump into drawing with no thought of proportions, because they can be fixed. My Father use to say it isn't what an artist draws that makes him great, it is how he fixes his mistakes. If you can just jump in and start drawing after knowing how to fix any mistake, you can have something finished in a matter of minutes. This drawing started out as one screen capture for every 2 seconds of drawing, and ended with 20 second jumps in 60 frames. Without screen captures this would have been drawn in less than 2 minutes. It would be great to draw realistic looking drawings of anything someone can discribe on the other end of the phone, and send them the picture by e-mail at the end of the conversation. It is not impossible, and I have done it for the art department for Music Match in California, and TDK in New York, and other artist. I find the only thing hard to draw in such a short time is animation because it takes more than one picture, but one picture should be easy, when you get use to the best and quickest way of drawing. That means you just need to start drawing and fix things on the way. I was given a wow rating by a team of artist that are paid to draw everyday, because I was fast, and my drawings looked finished in seconds. That was not just me, that was just taking advantage of the tools on photoshop to just draw in the center and work on the edges last. Like drawing this face I filled in were I was going to draw so I would not need to draw without a background color, then change the size of the brush to get basic shapes, and details, then move them into position, and add detail, and color, then in the final part add highlights and shading, then trim.
