Since logic can be formulated into rules, guidelines and theories, these can be shared. I will attempt to do so here.

Coloring in PSD-Orange is what you are
Photoshop is your friend. Certainly, you'll say, the camera doesn't see as we do, it alters colors, etc. That is besides the point. Once you are looking at the colors on the screen, if they make up a good tromp l'oeil to you (and my gosh, isn't a photo almost as realistic as, say, a photo?) then there is something to learn from it.

i haven't posted for ages. and i guess it would be wise to open a new sketchbook on CA, where i'll be able to gather some of the latest stuff, as well as having a new spot to 2011.the initial reason why i want to open that new sketchbook is because of several techniques i've found out and started using within photoshop, and that some of you could benefit in various ways. if i can use that sketchbook as a repository for all the findings, it will be all good, and i'll be able to come back to it easily.we've been talking a lot with thom scholes about it, and we're still experimenting and pushing this thing forward. also, kekai, as well as other artists and friends, have started messing with the technique. it's super exciting seeing stuff pop up that way.
