Description The 7th image I have created for MaiaGame maiagame.com/media.php About 5 days work. This image is not available to buy as it's copyrighted by the client.

All created from scratch in Photoshop CS5 Extended. Just like usual, I blocked in very basic shapes and used the vanishing point tool to get the perspective set up. The lasso tools are essential for the sharp edges. To get the reflections correct I used the vanishing point tool to accurately measure distances etc.

Thanks Baz - sorry about the 4 year wait for a reply.
I had been drawing about 3 years or so at this stage.

excuse me,But how is this a painting,This is 3d art,Please submit your art in the 3d folder please,this is NOT a painting

JamesLedgerConcepts In reply to FlutterDash75 [2013-07-17 13:27:34 +0000 UTC]

I assure you it IS a painting - I have no 3D software. ALL my paintings are done in photoshop, using the vanishing point tool to set up perspective grids. They look like they have been done with 3D software because I spend ages using the lasso tools to cut the shapes out, rather than simply paint freehand.
If I used 3D software, I would state that.
The vanishing point tool is only available in the 'extended' version of Photoshop. I can create grids and render them to a layer, which I use as a guide to align each element of my painting, making it look very accurate. It just takes time.

JamesLedgerConcepts In reply to Odi-Iza [2013-05-30 14:32:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks loads Iza - don't wish, just do.

I have to practice/work for clients 16 hours per day to be as good as i am. It's taken me 3 years from scratch, totally self taught, using books and youtube tutorials. It IS very hard, but if you practice for one month, every day for just 2 hours, you will be twice as good as you are now. Tell yourself every day that you are going to be an amazing artist, even when you feel frustrated and it all looks hopeless.

I still can't draw people, but I guarantee you I will one day, once I have practiced enough.
Draw what you love to draw, over and over and over. Look at as many photographs as you can before becoming saturated with boredom - this will help you to understand how things work, and how they look, making it much easier to create your own ideas. Copy or even trace images, as it helps your brain to understand and remember what objects look like. There is no special book, or special tutorial, it always comes down to practice, then you will realise how to make good artwork because your brain will work it all out.

I can believe you. Sometimes mine still take that long to be honest, but when the pressure is there from the clients there is little choice, even it means no sleep for a week.

I work so much better under pressure of a deadline.
Unfortunately, my artwork is never on a deadline.
At least not a serious one.
