An Autumn Practice

DESCRIPTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is my first fully digital render. I had followed a tutorial online ([link]). The final result looks quite different than what the tutorial showed. But, I feel that my take on the idea works just as well. It just lacks a full mystical feel that the tutorial's final result showed. Working digitally is quite strange, but very fun!

THE SKETCH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The render was done in Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended. I used a Wacom Graphire4 tablet to do everything. Due to the small size of my tablet, flora and fauna seems rather easy enough to draw, but for automotive renders, or any renders requiring long straight strokes, I have to get used to it. My friend who draws digitally uses a rather large pad for his work, and I had tried it out. The large area is so great to use for long strokes, and it makes my own tablet feel very confined. I hope to get a larger tablet in the future, especially if my small one ends up being difficult to use even with practice.

FINAL WORDS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due to my computer's age, I may not be able to get too many overly detailed renderings done in the coming days, but I hope to work on as much as I can. I always loved the rich colors you can get with digital mediums, but always hated how easy it was to draw something without mistake. I'm willing to admit that I was just too stubborn to move to Photoshop to do some sketching. But, I will always use traditional medium for other artwork, such as automotive art that I plan on selling through prints online.
