Christos Anesti!/Alithos Anesti! Paschal Digital Painting.

[fenderlove]

Title: Christos Anesti!/Alithos Anesti!
Artist: fenderlove
Medium: Drawing and colouring in Photoshop CS3.
Rating: Totally Worksafe.
Summary: In my comic London Calling, my OC Ursula is Eastern Orthodox, so with Pascha (Easter in the Greek Church) being tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to do a piece with some Paschal themes. Spike (who is very brunette and sheeple-headed) is holding a tsoureki (Easter bread) with a kokina avga (red egg) on top. Ursula is also holding some kokina avga. They are wearing my own version of Greek wedding stefana (floral wreaths) with Easter lilies.

The thing is I am not even able to draw the sketch so my admiration starts here :D. The rest of it is little miracle for me, the coloring is amazing and the same goes for the sketch. I tried once to convert image to painting in Photoshop and... well it ended badly :D, so I am enjoying works of others :D.

If you'd like some tutorials, I could send you some. They are good if you want to learn how to paint in Photoshop. :D
I learned in high school how to draw James's face by printing out pictures of his face at various angles and drawing on top of them with a big marker, mapping out all the "zones" of his face. It really helped me to see his face as a bunch of little areas than trying to draw everything at once. *hugs*

It would be fantastic; at least I can take a look on them. Although I am not sure that they will help to improve my skills, or better lack of my artistic skills :D.

Drawing over Jameses face... hmmm :D:D
