Description Deep in thoughts.
Young Severus is scrolling the corridors at night, everything is in silence, everybody is sleeping. Maybe he is thinking of a poem or inventing new potions in his head

...or his face simply reflected mine how I tried to figure out the basic rules of digital painting scratching my head a lot and using some thousand layers in PS.

...first in history he got some tiny eyelashes from me, but don't tell him, he would go mad (+download and zoom+)



I didn't use any reference photo.


Note: This is my FIRST digital painting.

I had no former experience, no former studies, never had a tablet before - since this Monday when I became the owner of one, so please keep this in mind if you comment this artwork (of course the constructive suggestions are always very welcomed )

Ó, wow, WOOOOOOW! Digitális rajz, nahát, már nagyon kíváncsi voltam! Bár én azt hiszem, mindig a tradicionális rajzokhoz fogok húzni, de ez leginkább azért van, mert én sosem tudnék ilyet alkotni, szívből gratulálok! Olyan ügyes vagy.

Köszi Nekem máris hiányzik a festékek, a grafit és a rajzlap illata, semmi nem pótolja, de az is igaz, hogy egyelőre olyan izgatott vagyok a wacom tábla miatt, mint egy gyerek, aki beszabadult a játékboltba))

Wow, that's more then impressive for the first digtal painting, absolutely jawdropping. Especially that you didnt leave the lineart there, like i always do, but you exactly made a real painting only with digital tools. Absolutely great, especially the eyes... Maybe you should have given more shadows to the left side of his face, but anyways it really looks way better than a first work generally looks. Or at least my work

I hope I will improve in the future, at the moment one eye takes me two hours and I did not have time to watch tutorials, but like a crazy I jumped into painting, deep water right away. Painting with wacom is a chilling experience after the traditional way, because you can alter anything anytime, change, modify, move, colour, Honeydukes is nothing compared to this!

So will you babysit my machine? you should change your mind and give your beloved Evo figures a treat!

woohoo, 2 hours. Yeah, it will be shorter, I'm sure. There are a whole load of good tutorials here and in the Net, but honestly I'm not too patient for these, so everything i know (well, thats not that lot) is mostly experienced by myself
But yeah, you're absolutely right, painting with PS is much easier than with brushes and paints. You should see me with watercolors I'm a disaster...

Uh oh, I think I have to think about this proposal and find my courage somewhere under the bed

Unfortunatelly the opposite, I will be that busy There is no chance I could sit down and paint with the tablet, but it is fine, some break will do good, now I spend 1-4 hours daily (usually midnight hours) and I am already very tired

It is very addictive, you will see!

AWEsome first digital portrait, my friend~!! Did you start with a Traditional drawing, or draw straight on the tablet? There's some issues here, sure, but you did really well. YOu shoulda seen my first, what a mess. Was this a traditional drawing first?
I can't help but think how his absorbed, positive expression mirrors your own excitement w/ the tablet Gonna be great watching you progress in digital media

Thank you, Joeyv7! No, I am too lazy and impatient to draw something on a paper, scan it and colour it digitally, I drew straight onto the tablet - that was the easy part, but the colouring, holy Jesus, I thought it would be easier.

I must had that face I could spend whole days now with my tablet, bad, I have to sit here in the office and work...

I hear you . . . it's so relaxing working with the tablet!! See, the opposite is true for me - I'm horribly shaky on drawing, but coloring is fine. I looked @ the download of this, and your lines are remarkably confident for a person starting out on the tablet.

Expell-HUN In reply to joeyv7 [2009-05-13 12:10:25 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, but I have to tell you I had so many (many-many-many) hidden layers, hiding my mistakes, shaky lines and horrific colorings

joeyv7 In reply to Expell-HUN [2009-05-13 13:32:09 +0000 UTC]

XD OK, so you know more that I did @ first No idea how to hide the layers when I first started. You're using the PS that came bundled with the tablet, or a different version?
What's really funny is the stuff I'm still discovering in PS. Stuff that's been infront of my face for MONTHS. It's gonna be really funny when I finally start to explore Corel Painter XD

Expell-HUN In reply to joeyv7 [2009-05-13 14:09:59 +0000 UTC]

No, the wacom was not that generous with the intous 4, I could download only PS Elements (with a code they gave) or a basic Corel program by choice, but no problem, I have a friend who installed me the Photoshop CS4 and the Adobe Illustrator,too. Shame on me, I have never tried the later one

It is the same with me, and I have to laugh at myself so often how complicated I made my life without using a given tool that was in front of my face..))

I am curious how you like the Painter! It is said to be the best painting program, you will definately make magic!

joeyv7 In reply to Expell-HUN [2009-05-13 19:16:07 +0000 UTC]

I haven't tried it yet. And I need to! but once I started learning PS - I just stayed with PS, and have been noticing what other artists say about Corel. 'Far superior' brushes is one thing I've heard. I've also heard it eats up memory as fast as PS, if not faster
A friend installed CS4? That's a friend indeed

I also like the fact that it does not look like you're doing what I did @ first - using teeny - tiny brushes. There's alot of spillover here, but better that, than tortured, inky - dinky little hesitant brushes.

yes, Mybreathingselfagain! And thanks a lot for your comment! (sorry, I have to refer to your names, because my replies are not displayed below your comments but somewhere in the end...)

I have never seen any tablet in real a week before, I was afraid to grab the digital pen first, it seemed so weird and unusal. Tablets are not as common as they are abroad here, but I think it is only a question of time

I really enjoy my wacom, but I tell you one thing: I desperately miss the scent of my papers and pencils, it is strange that when I take a breath I smell a machine... (do I sound a bit crazy? Alright, I make it worse, I hate reading from the screen, I must touch the papers of a book, feel the scent, the weight of the nicely cut printed pages )

Would you believe that I have never in my life even seen a tablet for real, let alone TOUCHED it?
And I will just tell you this, when you say you are crazy: I am OBSESSED by the touch, feel and smell of papers, materials, colours, fountain pens, quills, writing papers - I still write real letters and even seal them . So I understand you perfectly. for us both, then!!

Köszi, drága CSK!

Nagyon örülök, hogy megvettem a táblát, egyszerűen imádom. Március 25-én jött ki a wacom intuos új generációja (a 4-es), így egyből ilyet kaptam. Voltam a magyarországi forgalmazó cégnél kipróbálni, mielőtt kiadtam volna egy kalap pénzt (boltban nem kapható sajnos, csak a wacom bamboo a westend media marktban). Bevezető áron volt 127 e Ft(de annak lejött 10%-a, mert vittem diákigazolványt), ez a második méret. Most, hogy már használom, örülök, hogy nem az L méretet vettem (korábban ezt néztem ki a 3-asnál), teljesen felesleges, hiszen folyton zoomolsz, ki-be, nekem az aktív felület kb. 24 cmX15 cm (maga a tábla nagyobb, és kb. 1 kiló. Van egy csomó tollhegy hozzá, új funkciók, új dizájn (lapos, szexi és fekete). Először nagyon furcsa volt a tollegeret használni, azt mondták, kb. 3 nap, mire rááll a keze az embernek, és akkor még gőze sincs, hogyan é.pül fel egy digitális festmény, ez az első ké.pen, tényleg vagy 150 layer kellett hozzá, és egyáltalán nem könnyű... Ebbe az első, nem komplikált illusztrációba kb. 14 órát vasaltam bele, sajna, nem látszik rajta, de lesz ez jobb is, sőt csak jobb lesz, remélem

Majd ha jössz a 3. H& (nem akarom kiírni, minek a rövidítése...ehm..khm...) partira, kipróbálod, jó?
