Digital tools
1. My cute MOUSE .
Though I prefer the use of technical pens hands on as it is a lot easier . But I don't have the
pens , tough !
So I thought of the digital pencil tool .I was trying to imagine if it can achieve the fine strokes
I wanted same as the technical pens ... by manually operating it through
the mouse .
2. Digital pencil .
I used with the lowest size brush 1 ,did adjustments of the mode and opacity by trial and error until I achieved the desired very thin strokes.
3. Gradient adjustments.
4 . Burn and dodge tools
5.The sky textures were achieved using the above tools mentioned .I did adjust the levels and the curves did a few random scribbles of lines over the sky area for textures and apply a slight shadow from burn tool .
Can even used shots of tree trunks ,old rough tiles ,paper or wood etc for collection of textures .
Basically using the fine simple strokes with the mouse ,together with combination and adjustments of the above tools , the job is done for this picture .
To do the impression of grass ,I I did countless repeatitive zigzag motions with the mouse to get the textures or did fine circular motions for plants . I altered the scenery a little bit by adding additional palm trees using the same fine zigzag movements (brush size 1) and adding a little bigger house in the background and repositioning the hut on the left hand side of this pic .
This is my first picture of digital pencil strokes using the mouse .
