Thumbelina

Here's something I've been playing with for a while-- a scene from Thumbelina, shortly after her escape from the toads. I wanted to try a different approach from my usual and test out some new Kyle T Webster Photoshop brushes, which are all quite lovely. My favorite brush so far has been Gouache A-Go-Go, no surprise there! This was a lot of fun but it also took much longer than I would have liked. Working digitally has always been challenging for me, there are just so many options and it's easy to get stuck endlessly messing about with minor details. Maybe working like this just takes some practice?

  1. I just bought Photoshop brush pack as well! This is beautiful work! I do most of my work with pen and ink or pencil then take it into Photoshop, so this will be a bit of a challenge for me! Looks like you've really jumped into the brushes with ease :)

  2. Hi Rhianna, I know what you mean, challenge is definitely the right word! I'm used to the traditional route too, or at least drawing and inking on paper first, so this was something pretty new. Good luck and I hope you have fun with your new brushes!
