Pencil and Paper + Photoshop + Wacom Tablet
Last Weekend is a hand drawn illustration that was turned into a digital painting in Photoshop using a Wacom Tablet. This is only my second attempt at digital painting, but it's something that I hope to improve upon this year and many more to come. After drawing and scanning the sketch, I cleaned it up in Photoshop and made a few adjustments. From there, I used several textures, gradients, and custom brushes to color and stylize the piece until achieving the desired result. I hope you like it!
