| For someone who's never painted digitally, there
are quite a few things to consider, although they may not be all too obvious
in the beginning. To remove any kind of misconceptions you may have about digital painting: neither the computer, nor Photoshop will do the work for you. You have to be able to draw or paint to produce paintings of any sort. The only thing that is different opposed to traditional art is the fact that you don't have to wait for the paint to dry, and there are quite a few things that make the painting process easier. If you've never used Photoshop, it's recommended that you first get to know it a littlebit before jumping into starting to paint; it helps to know your tools. So, this is where this tutorial comes in. The things I am going to cover in this tutorial will include the following: One last piece of warning: If you are hoping for a magic solution, there is none. You will not become a great painter overnight - it takes some time, patience and practice. |

| PLEASE NOTE: This tutorial is based on
Photoshop 8 (CS), so certain settings and functions of tools may vary in
earlier versions, and I am unsure how useful it would be to those using
other painting programs. Also, parts of this tutorial simply rephrase and illustrate in more detail what is already explained in Photoshop's manual. |
