Hi, my name is Alexander Skachkov. I will try to explain the steps that lead to the creation of “I’m the godfather”, which I made using Photoshop CS5 and Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. The brushes which I used are:
STEP 1: SKETCH
I started with the sketch directly in Photoshop CS5, mainly to test the new brushes included in the software. The idea was just to draw some character. I decided that the rabbit will be the boss of the forest – the Godfather.
STEP 2: DIRECTION OF THE LIGHT AND POSITIONING THE LIGHT SOURCE
In this stage I defined the direction of the light and the placing of the light source. I continued with laying the cast shadows and the drop shadows. Then I put some more elements in the surrounding area and more texture which I achieved using rough Round Bristle Brush.
STEP 3: TEXTURING
I continued with texturing the cortex, the clothes and the fur of the rabbit and I was using mainly standard brushes, but I made few custom ones which were also used, after this I added few more details. I spent more time working on the lights and the dark spots in order to give depth and volume to the painting. For darkening I mainly used dark tone in layer of Color Mode Multiply, situated above the main one. For the light places – layer of Layer Mode Screen or Overlay and I draw with a bright tone.
