Drawing with Adobe Photoshop

August 2013 - May 2015
Creativity

I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet at home. What this allows me to do is create images and perform simple commands on my desktop computer. When I bought the tablet, my first intention was to use it to expand the range of skill I have in the field of art. My father also bought Adobe Design Suite for me as a gift. Photoshop CS5 was one of the programs included. It took a full year to gain my first perfect image; a character sketch of a wolf from my novels. However, there are still many tools on Photoshop I either have never used or simply do not know what they do. I have since created several images on the computer and post them online to a site called Deviant Art for feedback, critique, and display myself to the art community and introduce myself to art as a possible career. Deviant Art allows artists to collaborate, trade art, and commission artists from around the globe. My skills in the field of art have increased because I am now familiar enough with the Photoshop program to use it for art on a regular basis. My skill has also drastically increased from the pictures I had rendered in my early learning stages. I have developed a style as an artist and every day I find out more about the areas I can improve and which aspects I am very good with working with when doing art on my desktop. Because of the tremendous amount of time I used to learn the program and still use it for art today, I am showing perseverance and commitment to my art. Photoshop was a challenge since I had not worked with a program on the computer at all before to create art. Below are some examples of my recent work:







Some of the artwork above has a watermark with the label "Rockheart the Wild". This is my internet alias for Deviant Art i order to protect my identity. All artwork is original.
