a digital painting

A NUDE AT REST



This picture is purel;y digital because I did not use any conventional medium: pen, ink or any kind of colours used by artists. For my brush, I use the mouse, and for the art software I use the common software called PAINT.
First, I outlined my figure on paper ( just the key lines ) ..Then I scanned it and opened the scan with the PAINT software..From that point, I used the different kinds of tools in the software.. I sometimes magnify my work to 400%, then use the pencil, brush or airbrush tool to fill in the renderings.. The PICK COLOR tool is very useful because you can mix whatever colour you need without mixing colors; a very messy and time consuming process...
The work is not quite finished..It is really time consuming. From my point of view, I am finished with the lower torso, but I still do not like those strong lines on her back..
This is just like opening a covered easel to reveal what I worked on so far...
In this kind of artwork, sometimes you have to stop and go back to it some other day when the mood for working hits you again...
