One of my best Digital Paintings

[Deathdart]

Hi,
This is a painting I made using only digital paint in Corel Photopaint 12 and vector illustration in Adobe Illustrator 10. Its quite old, but I thought I'd share it will all the nice people here at TE.



Please feel free to leave some comments and critiques.

Regards,

Very nice painting there.Those birdies r soooooooo cute! :hap2:

Didn't know its digital art When i saw that on ur deviant art site i thought u hand painted it

 

[Deathdart]

Yeah, I tried to give it that kind of a look.

Gr8 work mate ! I'd like you to post some tuts for the members of TE.

 

[Deathdart]

Sure, I'll try. But I doubt that many people would like Corel Photopaint over Adobe Photoshop. I don't use PS, so my tuts would have to be for Corel PP 12.

Well you can do Illustrator tuts. I for one would love to have some.

And indeed the painting is supercool.

Thanks for the comments guys!

I would have posted Illustrator tuts, but I'm really not too good with Illustrator. I just use it to make basic outlines and background fills for my drawings and then give them a nice paint and shading and stuff in Photopaint. If the guys here would like to work with Photopaint, then I'll be glad to post some tutorials.

^No problem!. A tutorial of any kind would be helpful and it sometimes pays to venture into the unknown(photopaint)

 

[Deathdart]

OK, I'll post a small tutorial on how to paint the birds': feathers, face etc. And I'll make it more general so that Photoshop users can also be benefited from it.

EDIT: I would appreciate some more comments and critiques on the painting

How can any1 use a S/W to draw that beautifully..?!! Just curious.. but hav u tried ur hand at "normal" painting??

 

[blaster]

Too good man , just curious , how many days it took ??

Waiting for the tut , hope it will help in learning coral photo paint and Adobe illustrator.

@delhiboy1000: Yep, I also do traditional painting. In fact, I've passed my Intermediate Grade Drawing Exam with a B-grade (same grade as my teacher ).

@blaster: I took me about 2-3 days I think. I don't remember exactly. But I think it was a total of about 5-6 hours' work.

@All TE members: I have posted a tutorial for making such birds. Please have a look:
