sorcerer guy (what a sales title)


A couple of little touch ups.. the hand on the right was looking a little big to me, so I shrunk it.. I got rid of a couple more unwanted paint strokes, and I recropped slightly (again) because I felt the piece didn't need such space to be balanced.... oh.. and a signature :)

This is a presentable stage to me.. maybe I'll tighten it up in the future, but I'd thought I'd post it here for now.. cheers and thanks again guys for all your positive feedback!

This is absolutely the best Photoshop tutorial I've ever seen. It really runs parallel to my train of thinking and process, however I haven't been able to refine the technique into something that's functional or practical yet.

This really clarifies a few things that I've been lacking in my process.

THANK YOU!

Arree Chung said...

wow kinman. that's amazing. and i totally saw the same thing in your scribble. :)

Eric Chiang said...

I like that you integrated a simple program like artrage into your creative process. Sometimes we are so bogged down by the infinite amount of digital brushes we can use in photoshop thats its nice to set limits for ourselves. Love how the piece turned out.

William Fenholt said...

hey kinman, fun stuff. if you still want the website redesign drop me a line at gmail.com, name is same as the handle I'm using here. your current website's making my antivirus wig, so I couldn't fetch your email from there to directly contact you.

edwinushiro said...

Yes, a definite classic! You also made a great decision cropping tighter.

Erwin Madrid said...

Hey Kinman thanks for stopping by. Sorry we didn't get a chance to go landscape painting last week. Maybe when the weather is better we can schedule something.
