Together (A sped up digital painting)

This is obviously NOT an actual speed painting....
it has been sped up to show how this image was made and the steps to make it.
There are three:

1.sketch
2. Line art
3. coloring

They all go in order.
I DO NOT own the songs used, but they are songs I relate to this image which is special to me in
so many ways ^__^
Anyway, the songs are as follow::


1. "Feels like home" -Melissa Etheridge
2. "Ave Maria" - Beyonce
3. "Freedom" (Prayer for taylor)- Michael W Smith

Now for a bit of explanation::

The first program used is Photoshop CS4 for the sketch which WAS done with a tablet
the 2nd program for the line art was Paint Tool SAI (I like how easy and clean it makes line art)
and lastly, the final program used for the coloring was again Photoshop CS4.
All of this was done with a drawing tablet, BUT without pressure sensitivity, which is why it takes a bit longer.
While I color in this video you will notice a change in the backgrounds, and as time goes on the transition from dawn, day, dusk, and then night is very subtle, but lets see if anyone can catch it. I did that on purpose :)

Total elapsed time:: 4 and a half hours. (Not including breaks)

Wow, that was awesome! Your skills in photoshop just have me sitting here in awe. Where ever did you learn them all? Great job!

[ScarlingRagdoll]

Firstly, thank you very much for those kind words ^_^ I appreciate them :)

2nd, I learned most of my photoshoping 'skills' from just messing around. I find the easiest way to learn something like a program like photoshop is to just try new things out. If they don't work, then don't reuse them ^^; Best thing about it is, if you mess up, you don't have to waste paper to redo it XD Even with MSpaint just messing around and seeing what everything does.

[ScarlingRagdoll]

That would be TK, my fiance's fursona ^_^

So beautiful. . .I wish that I could be a great artist like that.

[InuKagLove1]

That's so beautiful <3

I'm an artist myself, and I think you're such an inspiration already. Even though I see this was made a few years ago, it's still really wonderful just like the recent works that I've seen by you :u

To sum it all up-

I think you're fucking awesome.
