Photoshop art with Wacom Tablet

Hey guys,

Did a few artworks with photoshop, used the paint and splashed it about, then used the smudge tool to blend the colours together, used different layers for foreground/background and individual images... what do you think?

Thats awesome.

Did you freehand the cheetah or use a template of some sort to get proportions right.

I used a picture of a cheetah, and painted over the top of it, then I removed the image and used the smudge tool to spread the colours around....

Uhm art? Sorry but there's nothing of interest here.
You should google some real 'wacom' artists and
learn from them.

Oh sorry...

Yes very nice work, I see he has mastered
the 'smudge' function. Now go look for the
pressure and skew function and draw over
another image.

Is this the arse kissing forum? He posts his
FIRST attempts and expects a parade?

pffft

Parade not expected, constructive criticism - yes, you seem to know a bit of photoshop so why not give some advice on how to use it instead of 'go see real wacom artists on google' etc.. etc..

What would you like to know? How PhotoShop
works? There are books for that. How to use the
Intuos? Wacom has vids for that too. I can't tell
you how to make something worth while. You need
to find your own projects.

One bit of advise I'll give you, just for free. Please
stop drawing freehand. It's like airbrushing freehand;
very very difficult and you do need a massive amount
of talent and software knowledge to pull that off in a
professional manner. Most tools in PS don't even need
a wacom. Only the pressure sensitive/skew stuff.

if you're more into freehand/painting than 'painter' might
be a more suitable package for you. LINK, click GALLERY

My apologies for the grumpy comments before, but
owning a wacom does not make anyone an artist. I hear
and see that with every interview we take when we're
hiring 'graphic artists'.

Cool, i've been using photoshop using a mouse for ages, but decided a tablet so i could draw freehand, i will give painter a whirl, thanks

If you got CS5 or higher, than the mixer brush is great for painting. That is how I painted my gizmo.

Hmmm you've painted the Gremlin using
the mixer brush? Or did you use the MB to
apply some textures?

Painted it. It's a pain in the ass to figure out the settings and what they do, once you got a few brushes set up you like, it's great for painting.

I am hoping to have time to start a new painting this weekend, I am going to try and do a tutorial at the same time to post here as I paint it. Can't do video, my computer is too old, but can do the screenshot type
