Painting a Sketch of a Rat and a Fly - Corel Painter Tutorial

Jacquelin Vanderwood March 1, 2004   1 I scanned the sketch through Photoshop then exported it as a transparent gif. I opened the sketch in Painter. Once the sketch is opened, choose Auto Select and select Current Color. 2 Go back to Select and choose Float.   3 Select Liquid Ink and Clumpy Ink 4. Drop this layer below the sketch.   4 Paint in the body of the rat.   5 Change to Smooth Bristle and the color pink. Add color into the ears, nose, mouth, feet, and tail. 6 Change color and choose the Sparse Camel brush. Sweep the brush into the bug once or twice.   7 Use the Smooth Round Nib and a color change to fill in the wings. Do the same thing for the eyes.   8 Change to Velocity Sketcher. Use the Eyedropper and select the color of the body of the rat. Adjust the color to a darker hue in the color wheel. Add shadows and texture. Do the same for the rest of the rat.   9 Do the same step on the eyes of the bug.   10 Use the Smooth Round Nib and paint in a text balloon in black then add white text. Also add motion to the bug. You're done.     Copyright 1998-2004, Jacquelin Vanderwood, All Rights Reserved
