Wouldn't it be great if you could have three of the world's most accomplished and sought after Photoshop teachers sitting next to you at your computer as you create artistic works with Photoshop? How to Wow: Photoshop for Painting and Illustration is the next best thing. Three Photoshop powerhouses-Jack Davis, Bert Monroy, and Cher Threinen-Pendarvis-all renowned authors, graphic designers, and trainers, have developed an effective way to help you reach your full creative potential.
Jack, Bert, and Cher guide you step-by-step through real-world projects, with an emphasis on uncompromising quality, last-minute flexibility, and go-home-at-night speed! You'll learn tips and techniques on everything from common workflow problems and exciting artistic techniques to custom projects and creations using Photoshop CS2. Whether it's drawing, sketching, painting, experimenting with photos, or creating collages, you're given the tools and breathtaking sample projects that show you not only the How of a technique, but also the inspirational Wow! aspect of telling beautiful, memorable stories with your art.
This book begins with the expressive painting and drawing from scratch (where an artist starts with a blank canvas and imitates traditional media) and then moves on to recreating traditional media by using photographs (stock art, scanned objects, etc.) as a starting point. Next you'll learn to recreate a scene (whether a cityscape, still life or product illustration) photorealistically. The How to Wow! companion CD makes it a snap and is packed with everything you need to work through the projects in the book and start creating your own art that wows!
