Category: Colouring

I’ve finished with Davinci Resolve for the moment while I research and write the next essay (1 book to read, 1 movie to watch, 3 games to play/record). To relax of a Sunday afternoon, I decided to load up Photoshop and do some colouring for the first time in a long (relatively) time.

I got a new, larger drawing slate for Christmas, so I don’t have to zoom in as far for snalled brushstrokes which is good. It’s also less fiddly overall. My only problem is, there’s something about working in layers and clipping masks I seem to have a mental block on. I know they make things easier when you use them right, but I seem to keep moving layers, attaching and removing clipping masks through the whole process. I guess I’ll just keep at it until something clicks. Still, this was the end result, which I can’t complain about.

I do colouring book pages to learn Photoshop. Got a collection I scan and probably spend longer on than if I used pencils, but the results are coming out better each time. These were two of the first.

I know… Adobe is evil and we’re all supposed to be moving to open-source software, but I started out with Sketchbook, which went from free to subscription and Krita doesn’t support my Tourbox, which I can’t work without these days (for anything). I’m also still using Lightroom for photos, but at least I’m using DaVinci Resolve for video.
