New Pencil Brushes!

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:28:00 +0100

Here’s a set of pencil brushes I created for Photoshop (versions CS3 to CS6) that re-create a more traditional sketchy look. I’ve always wanted some decent pencil brushes for Photoshop, but I could never really find what I wanted, and there’s SO many brushes floating around these days, it made it even harder to find what I was after. The solution? Make my own, just like I did with the hard square brush I posted a while ago!

NOTE: These will NOT work in Photoshop CS2 or lower

You can buy the set at the link below, and if you’re willing to share them via the twitter or facebook buttons, you’ll get a 33% discount! (share it first, and then click the pay button and the discount will be applied)

I’m not sure this will help anyone, and my apologies if it seems like I’m teaching anyone to suck eggs, but I get a lot of questions on how I achieve smooth blending when painting. Hopefully this will shed some light on it!

It’s that time of year again! The Satellite Soda February daily draw is ON!

This year I’m going to be doing all my pieces on either my iPad or my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

This one was done on my iPad using Procreate. Hay stack monsters!

Happy Christmas everyone! As always, here is a creepy Santa for your festive enjoyment. I like how his mouth is a perfectly shaped slot designed to accept cookies and other small objects that you may want to sacrifice.

Sorry for the lack of updates, my arms fell off and they’ve only just been re-attached via the gift of chewing gum.

Here’s a creepy Halloween picture, although it’s more creepy in the same way a paedophile is creepy..

Holy crap, a new post! Okay, so it’s only a lunchtime iPad doodle, but it’s still better than nothing.

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been all this time, well, I was sick and it wasn’t terribly fun, either. Nothing super bad, but it lasted long enough to screw up daily routines and my normal drawing/painting habits. Definitely glad to be getting back on track with this stuff, I was starting to worry that it’d never happen!

Oh, and I can safely confirm that getting 20+ mouth ulcers at once is not fun, and it will also cause you to lose about 20lbs from the awesome fact you CANNOT EAT ANYTHING.

Okay, I’m done!

Facebook Page

Facebook Page:

Creating a page on Facebook for yourself feels incredibly narcissistic. However, I’ve never felt that when looking at other people’s pages, so it’s probably just Mark Zuckerberg casting spells on me again. Regardless of Zuckerbergs evil intent, it is another place to share my art, and so I should probably make good use of it.

If you like it, please consider hitting that Like button so that I can feed my imaginary children. Their favourite meal just so happens to be self-satisfaction! Mmmm!

Just recycling a coco sketch for some painting practice. Trying out yet another reverse-engineered method of painting, but I’m mainly interested in playing with the colours more than anything. This is also the first thing I’ve started painting in the Photoshop CS6 beta, and also the first thing I’ve painted on my new IPS monitor. Hopefully the colours look okay on everyone else’s screen.

I’ll finish this later, but for now, SLEEP.

Trying out the latest version (1.6) of the Procreate painting app. They’ve done an amazing job with it, and I can’t wait to try out the supported pressure sensitive stylus when it becomes available later in the year.

If you have an iPad and you want to try painting with it, I’d definitely recommend checking Procreate out. I’ve tried a lot of painting apps, and this one definitely wins in speed and features.
