Once I worked out the painting enough I went back to make the last adjustments. From their I found the middle tone, shadow shapes and details along with shadow shapes last. The next steps I painted were the large shapes. I started out drawing an outline of the base to the best of my ability without using any of Photoshop’s tools(ellipse tool, pen tool etc.). Take a look at the start to beginning process. I used the brushes at 1oo% opacity and the brush flow between 20-50%. I set it up around 300 dpi, for the brushes I used Photoshop’s round hard brush, round soft brush, large flat brush for the background and manipulated the blender brush to soften the shadows. The sheet underneath was set up with wrinkles to lead the eye to the vase to give the still life a good composition and to help guide the viewers eyes around the vase. It literally says so right on the about page. He created the Ctrl+Paint website as a genuine resource for digital painting.

The site was created by Matt Kohr who’s a professional concept artist with years of experience on various projects. The light source was a single desk lamp, used to create dramatic light and shadows of the vase’s form. Every artist should know about Ctrl+Paint. I love working in both of the programs each has its advantages.įor this painting I set up the still life( props, lighting and photography). I’ve expanded my digital painting methods by taking the time to learn Photoshop efficiently along with Corel Painter.
