Was linkjumping from Hans Bacher's blog (seriously, he has SO many links, it's insane), see what I could see, and came across this guy, David Hong. His digital work has such a painterly quality to it, I love it (he does also paint with traditional media); while I understand how you'd do that with real paint, I couldn't get my head around how you achieve it in Photoshop. It never had the same sort of ergonomic sense that physically putting more paint on your brush had.So. My brother told me to play around with the different brushes in PS. So I did. And there we go, a bunch of scribbles turned out to be a tree in a field somewhere. Who'da thunk?
I'm going to investigate downloading custom brushes for PS - seems you can get all sorts: spray can runs, ones that emulate watercolour, paint splats, curly victorian-esque decorative bits... I'll post up here any that I find; and if anyone knows of any good sites already, let me know :)
