USE SILHOUETTES AND SHAPES TO PAINT CONCEPTS

As an artist, I believe the most interesting and rewarding projects involve bringing an idea to life in a single image. In this workshop, I’ll explain my creative approach as I illustrate a stylised landscape.

My workflow involves starting out in Procreate before moving on to Photoshop. This is because Procreate enables me to draw using simple pencil tools and paint at the same time. It feels natural to work in Procreate this way, as I work up an idea. Photoshop has a great choice of selection tools – and the Lasso tool in particular stands out for me. It makes it possible to create interesting shapes for drawing and painting. The Lasso tool can also help me develop a range of interesting silhouettes – ideal for more stylised work.
