Description:
This one is created when I was listening to COLLECTIVE SOUL’s 1995 Album, self titled,“Collective Soul”, track number 8, ‘She Gathers Rain’. Great track and album, by the way.
Using my two weapons, Corel Painter X, and Photoshop CS. Using CS3, for detail and skimming away parts not needed in the image, and then finally digitalizing the image as an official digital painting. 9 hours of work, using Helvetica to finalize text, as with the UNTAINTED, and LIBERTY REBORN DPPs (Digital Painting Portraits).
After finalizing the image, created a monochromatic layer, color fill of both black and white, instead of using Desaturate, (sorry, using and operating in the old school Photoshop 4 skillage), to make it more indepth, crisp, and more realistic to a charcoal, and true sketch look, on a digital painting appearance.
Again, I would encourage all Artists venturing in DPP’s invest in both Photoshop as the main basis program, but crossover applicatives with Corel Painter X. It is well worth the investment, especially for many of us that are on commission, and in Conceptual, Commericial and Client Based works, including some DPP’s in Freelance & Photography editorials.
