"Fashion Story" Comeback

Aeons ago while studying fashion I illustrated the above female figure. That was well over ten years ago. And in the last three years this old girl keeps making a comeback in one form or another. In 2007 she became an acrylic painting, which hangs in my house. Since then she has also appeared in one of my zines. And today I once again find myself pulling her out of the archives, turning her into a Photoshop paint brush.

This print would look amazing on fabric.

Bright Spark

I have recently created some new paint brushes in Photoshop, and this here picture is an experimental play to see how they would look.

One paint brush is from a hand drawn star. The other paint brush is from a photo taken of the moon last night.

Pleasant Surprise

I have had a bit of luck today in Photoshop. I already knew how to create a brush, but I did not know how to manipulate the brush into complex patterns beyond the standard stencil effect.

So today I did some fiddling around in Photoshop determined to uncover it's hidden treasures. The result of which has been this image which was one of my first samples of a scattered paint brush effect.

This is a very proud and happy moment for me.

Apple Blossoms

This is a paint brush that I have just created in Photoshop. It is based on a photo that I took of an apple blossom plant in my garden.

This image kind of reminds me of when I used to hobby in pressed flowers. Only in this case I am creating the pressings digitally.
