Digital Painting Practice

          Another thing I've recently been doing is practicing digital painting in Photoshop. I want to learn how to use more brushes than just the first four in the default set. So, I did some brush studies and documented the ones I liked the most.

Wet Media Brushes:

Dry Media Brushes:

M Brushes:

Faux Finish Brushes:

Special Effect Brushes:

          Also here are some progress pics from works where I am using the brushes from my studies. The first one is my attempt to copy a photo to practice lighting and environment. The other two are creatures from my sketchbook. So far these works have definitely been a lesson in patience and the importance of using multiple layers. I look forward to doing more and getting better.
