Video Up... Finally!


Speedpainting regime No 1: Space ship. Time: 45 minutes.


Two things... first, I am undertaking a SPEEDPAINTING REGIME. Basically, where I don't see the sunlight until I improve my photoshop articulation. Second, I have finished the Zombiematic at last! You can see it here:

Also just wanted to say that after many days of using the program Corel Painter X, I have experienced nothing but difficulty. Is the learning curve a bit high on this program? (this coming from someone who works with Maya... ) At first I was impressed by the millions of tools available but after trying to do some painting with it got quickly overwhelmed! It seems that the painting app is so realistic, it actually muddies your colours... just like in real life. Though that aspect was one I hoped Corel wouldn't emulate.

Ah well. As my high school art teacher once said, if you want to learn how to paint, sit down and do 10 paintings and then you're ready to learn. I think my disgust is founded in the fact that in Corel my work looks like it's reverted to what I was doing two years ago, with no wacom tablet, and without the right glasses prescription.

So ten Corel Paintings? We'll see how it goes.

I'm leaving the spaceship up for retrospect... but I really, really hate it.
