Coming up on today’s epsiode:

Jermbo shows us his painting techniques in photoshop.

Well lets go a head and open up photoshop. I like to start out with a sketch and scan it in so i have a good base to start painting on. The first thing I like to do is make a white layer and place it on the bottom on the layers.

Then I set the sketch to about 50% opacity. make a new blank layer on top of the sketch and start painting. I have completed some of the painting before but you can see the layers of what i have done. On that first layer above the sketch I grabbed the brush set the opacity to 20 or 25% and slopped on color to get a basic color pallet. Once the base colors are placed down, i make a new layer and start blending the colors together.

I like to use the eye dropper to pick my next color, that way the colors stay in the came range. I turn on and off the sketch and bg layer to see my progress at times. Now that I am happy with the hands i will start on the bg. the easiest thing I do is make a new layer and set it behind the hands layer.
