Digital Painting Process

Four stages of a digital painting of a graphite drawing of the tarot Temperance card.
WIP – graphite drawing, painting in Photoshop

This is what I’ve been working on today! Coincidentally, I’ve been working on a version of the tarot card Temperance (from my first post) as part of a big, ongoing project. I actually remembered to take screenshots! Heck yeah.

It’s really useful to look at the image like this, because I it makes it easy to see where I need to make changes. Here, for instance, I see all sorts of things that I’m going to work on tomorrow. Mainly bringing back some of the midtones because my dark colors are too dark now. Also, it makes me realize how much time I waste on areas or things that have very little visual impact.
