More light and shadow...

Today's seen a lot more shadowing go in, knocked a quick sky as well to get a rough idea of contrast and colour level...

Not Star Trek, granted...

I've had various Star Trek bits and pieces happening over the last few weeks, including my various SketchUp projects. Along with that I've also been teaching myself to digitally paint, as my girlfriend was kind enough to buy me a Wacom bamboo tablet, and I've built myself a new PC, so Photoshop is nice and snappy!

I did a few tests with it just to get a feel for it, as its a very odd experience at first. In and effort to turn out and actual piece though, I've started a full size drawing, so this is what I'm working on...



The outlines are nearly done (except for the rocks obviously), and after that I'll start working some colour in to get a feel for the actual 'painting' aspect. Doing so much outlining has proven a great way to get a feel for the Bamboo though, and I'm already drawing much straighter lines and smoother curves, I'll keep you all updated...
