On the drawing boards, but not nearly to Harry's standards! This was headed for a LaMans build here, but as usual for me, it never got too far.

They don't call you the "perennial non-finisher" for nothing...

Thanks, Romell. It took me a while to get the hang of Photoshop, but now that I know it inside and out, there's nothing I can't create with it.

These are gorgeous!

I use Photoshop for all my image editing, but I'm a rank amateur compared to the skills you have, Harry. What you do is unfathomable to me! You had to have a mentor that taught you all the secret shortcut keys!

There are really no "shortcuts" for drawing/painting in Photoshop. It's done bit by bit, just like an airbrushed illustration; the difference is the "airbrush" in Photoshop works electronically... but it works just like a "real" airbrush as far as how it lays down color... except of course it never clogs, and I never run out of colors.

I am still only scratching the surface of PS. So do you use a tablet? It would be nice to see a brief how to again. There are just so many tools it is hard to figure out which one to use and how they work. I still have yet to get the pen tool down.

I tried a tablet but didn't like it. I use a mouse. The main PS tools I use are the Lasso tool (for drawing shapes), the Brush tool (for filling in colors), and the Eraser and Smudge tools to soften edges. I use other tricks too, but I do 95% of the work with those tools (plus filters like brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, etc. to fine-tune things).

Great work Harry!
Your technique for lighting and reflection is fantastic. It is something I have been trying to learn recently myself and apply to my artwork.

[MILD]

Those are simply amazing Harry. Do you sell the finished items or is it simply a passion you have? I for one would have no problem purchasing something of that quality. Great job!

I can't wait to see one take shape in your tutorial thread.
