This is one I really wanted to thank you for.
I went through this step by step.
First question was.."ghost image in the background..done on a wacom pad of some sort or
scanned in?"
I could comment and fave on a bunch of others but you'd get bored with that.
A couple of tech questions if you feel like replying.
Using Painter only or the paint options in Photoshop?
I recognize a lot of of the poses in your bondage/fetish pics.
Do you sketch them out, scan them in and then start to paint or
do you start to paint right off the original?
Combination of both?
Just wondered.
I'm still trying to get the hang of this "Painter" style.
I've been sort of inking and using layers of "multiply" to add colour over inks
or tight pencil for years
but now everyone is using this painter look so I want to
learn how you guys do it.
Anyway - thanks for sharing this.
Cheers.

Thank you very much for the compliments. Glad to know these breakdowns are useful.
The 'ghost image' is a sketch done in photoshop, based on the reference. I don't have a scanner, although I do prefer the feeling of sketching on paper, line drawing in photoshop is just very quick.
I did use Painter on a few pieces but the software always has a bit of lag, very small but when it's happening all the time, it piles up so much agony during the drawings process, so I pretty much abandoned it.
I use photo reference all the time, in the beginning I use to very carefully trace or draw from the ref, but nowadays I choose to only rely on it for pose in general and lighting reference, and try to have as much freedom and flexibility as possible.
The Corel Painter does provide dynamic and somewhat realistic brushstroke, but it's nothing compare to the real thing. Plus Photoshop, although don't have a highly dynamic simulation program, it is very well optimized and allows great flexibility in creating custom brush. You may find most of my recent work share the similar touch, they are indeed all painted with the same 3-4 brushes in PS.
Hope this answers your questions.

Thank you.
Yes - answered all my questions and more.
Especially one about Corel and Painter.
I thought it was just me.
That damn'd lag was driving me nuts.
I thought it was my card...quad core?..*what*..
what is with this lag on these brush strokes..
Thank you.
Cheers.
Newcastle fan btw.

I am truly enjoying these step-by-step pieces. We get to really enjoy your work from a new light. Your end pieces always look so layered and painterly, so this is such a treat to see those subtle, and gradual build-ups.

Thank you very much. that's exactly why I like to save the steps, seeing how it was built up allows to relive the joy of painting in small fragments. Plus it's a nice way to document the improvement and progress in a long run.
