Pop Art with BSG's Six
Tuesday, January 23, 2007 1:34 PM
I'm pretty good at Photoshop. I've been using it for over 5 years now, and I've become very comfortable with it... almost to a fault. I'm pretty familiar with a majority of the program's tools, except for the pen (among some others). I've always found the pen to be anti-intuitive, at least compared to actual vector programs, like Illustrator and InDesign (to some extent). So I decided to take up on getting used to the pen in Photoshop. I was going to start by making line art, but I decided to start off more simply, with just the general shape.
I thought that Number Six would be a good figure to work on. She has great curves (obviously), and her hair would make it much more challenging. In the end, I think the silhouette turned out pretty good, but I could probably use more practice with the tool, especially if I want to use it for more a more complicated composition. Eventually, I suppose knowing how to use the pen tool would be very useful in making those faux vector arts on Photoshop.
The link listed below was very useful in helping me get a handle on the pen tool, and it also inspired this piece.
