Description

My Process can be seen here !

So, I was bored in class and decided to challenge myself to do a food study using only a mouse and the photoshop default brushes. 
(To be specific I only used two brushes. A soft edge brush and a hard edge brush.)

It was surprisingly really relaxing and fun.
Not to mention it forced me to be more precise with my marks. 
(Yeah, I'm pretty sure I end up blending too much when I use my tablet.)

Interestingly, my entire workflow was different, but felt the same? 

It was basically:

  • Block out shapes with Lasso Tool
  • Lock Layers
  • Make a gradient with two dots
  • Colorpick between them
  • Blend
  • Repeat
  • Yup realistic stuff with a mouse is possible. It just takes more time and patience, for sure.
    I highly suggest trying this out if you're too comfortable using your tablet.
    I know this kept me on my toes.

    It took me a second to see it wasnt really a picture.

    I would have more to say on this lovely drawing but Ive been left speechless with the whole, "Two brushes and a mouse" part.

    Thanks!

    Ah Yes but I'd say the star of this drawing was definitely the color picker.
    If you assign it to a shortcut and use it like crazy it's almost like you have tablet control. c:

    The hunger is real. x U x; I'm always so attracted to how pretty sushi looks, personally.

    Ah I can't really take credit for that- it was a well composed photograph. I just painted it.
    Thank you! c:

    Ah they're fine! Honestly this didn't take that long. xD

    I think I tense up my hand more using a tablet pen tbh. I notice I grip the tip of the pen really hard.

    That's totally insane. The outcome doesn't even remotely look like it's done without a tablet.

    Yeah it just takes a lot longer- Luckily I found the whole process relaxing instead of frustrating.
    Here's a wip if you're interested.

    Thanks for the insight, it's still remarkable that you made this only with your mouse and even had fun while doing it! I can't imagine myself drawing with a mouse and being relaxed ^^
