Colour Speed painting




Really struggled with this, due to my control of the brush by hand and blending in the colours; I know a few ways to blend but I couldn't blend the way the original artist did.

Ugly small whale boy



Small thumbnail to see from a distance. Really concentrated on his tones in the hour, didn't have time to finish the blending. I found the task quite useful, being rush really makes you prioritise. I think the teeth where to bright and messy.

Useful short cuts I used along the way:

B for Brush
E for eraser
][ - Brush size
ALT- Click Eye to Hide all other layers
Select colour range works well with this
You can then adjust the selected colour with Image > Adjustments > Brightness

I used Gaussian blurs and a motion blur to blend some main shadows quickly, but need more blending to help fade in.
