Making of Set Out for Loverby T.G. Jay Web: www.tgjay.com


Then, let’s get started. It’s hard to get the breath-taking result by painting only one time. More times you paint, more levels you get.


You could paint leaves step by step:

• Define a leaf brush. Paint leaves’ shape. If you have a tablet, it ‘s easy to use pan pressure . One stroke forms one shape.
• Add brighter saturated color to the middle of every leaves.
• drop rough shadow of every leaves.
• Add darker and saturated color to the front surface of every leaves.
• drop highlight of front surface. Attention to distributing of highlights.
• If leaves are less than enough, add some.
• Don’t forget the backlight effects. The light is warm and bright.You can see the photo above for consideration.
• Blur the image and paint again…
  

Add some Flavouring

When you finished your work, you can add some flavorings at last. They will give you more details and make your image real. I do sharpness, glow and lens blur. Maybe you have another choice.


The smallest size of CG brush is 1 pixel. As you know, Because some of the details are smaller than even 1 pixel, they’re hard to be painted by brush. But noise + sharpen can achieve that. When you use sharpen filter, you will always surprised with the details the sharpen filter brought.

Both glow and lens blur do the same thing which makes the image real. Images with glow and lens blur are supposed to be photo or a snapshot of a movie and reduce the appearance of Brushstrokes.

Keep Patience

There is a Chinese saying “Painting can shape a person's temperament”. I think it is justified. I kept up telling myself that I’m pursuing art, never give up until I feel satisfied during the period months. I’m convinced of the belief that constancy helps me do better. I think it will help you as well.
