Description
Just thought I'd show you how much of the photo shows through, and how much I paintover, in my paintovers. Hope someone finds it interesting/useful.
When I makes stuff that looks alright I'm eager to tell/show others how I did it. I for one love seeing break downs and process of people's art. Hopefully I'm not the only one. And Remind me never to pursue a career as a magician, my tricks would never be a mystery. Haha. For a more lengthy tutorial on my paintover process view this one: [link]
Should mention that after painting over the background I applied several filters too it. such as blurring it and some of the artist painting ones, and some color adjustment.

so i'm really new to photoshop and trying to learn; could you tell me what the middle, really white-ish picture is about? Is that a filter or white paint-over or something else? What's the purpose. Also, looked at your tutorial, I LOVE love love it, thank you! It really helps out us poor noobs.

That was just to show how much was painted over in the photo manip. It's not a filter, I use a tablet, a new layer, a photoshop brush, and an eye dropper tool.

It is very interesting, this style of digital art.. I have more recently been very intrigued by it due to an inherent tendency to play with photos myself. The manipulation of reality, adorning it with the embellishments of one's imagination is simply a divine idea. I love that there are more artists that do this.

Well share it if you get the chance.
It's very fun to paintover images.

Oh, I shall!
It is indeed fun! Hehe.. I'm working on a strange.. tribal vampire in the city based off a few stock photos.
WONKY, but hey.
Fun stuff.

Wha, what a genius idea!
Paintover.. something like make-up for pictures. You're the first artist who showed that process to me Β°^Β°; Aww, thank you very much! What a great work! It IS like magic! xD
and: a wonderful idea! I'm feeling somehow lame now, 'cause I haven't known this technique before D:
(I always thought, working with a photo or some other picture a layer underneath would be some kind of "cheating" - but you show me that it's real art! And fantastic art! Β°OΒ° Praise you!~)

Paintovers are nothing new. Novice artists do them all the time. Take a picture they like, and "recolor" them and claim the work as their own.
So there's a certain level of negative connotation on the topic of paintovers, and tracing. So you don't see them as much. As a lot of people don't consider them to be real art.
But, I like to think that I'm making something better and original. And not just a poor quality rip off of someone else's work. And that it takes at least some skill to successfully mesh my own illustration into a photograph, without the illustration looking out of place and unnatural. XD

Yay! I think so, too!
It's completely different from just tracing a picture! You make it better and more beautiful and you put some really hard work in it.
But you're right, most people think that you're just a thief when you say that you're drawing on a photo. D: Not fair!
But for me it is art. And I like it <3 Und ich will es auch kΓΆnnen! xD

They think it, though it's one step beyond a photo manipulation. XD Oh well. But i don't get complaints, the image is pretty and I link to my sources.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, I think that's very important.
To mention the source makes noone feel like you're trying to hide the fact, that there was an original picture! So everybody is pleased ^w^
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep, still have to be careful what sources you use. XD

SΓ! You're right - like always

It's easy to be right if you make statements just about everyone can agree with.
