Yet more digital art !

If I keep this up I will have to rename my blog to Darlington Digital! I can whip off a bunch of these in short order, sitting on the couch or waiting for the dentist etc. This one started with a near-black background and used a variety of neon stamps and brushes to create a whirling electrical affect. There is a symmetry tool that replicated the brush stroke which allowed for some neat patterns.

This one used mostly stamp tools with some some eraser applied over top. Colour schemes can be controlled by avoiding one colour in particular and using all the others. In the example, there is no green anywhere.

Same idea with the colour scheme, no green, or blue for that matter. I drew hands reaching up with soft pastel brush, just varying the width of the brush to create fingers. Then circle stamps were applied in successive layers along with a few starburst stamps in white to create glow.

An earthy approach, I also used lots of stamps along with various types of brushes and pens to create the foliage. Orange, yellow and green can go well with brown. The nice thing about digital art is you can overlap things and it works perfectly. Hard to do with paint, especially watercolour.

And my signature piece, PJD, in neon turquoise over a textured brown surface. Sparkles were created with a variety of textured brush strokes, spatter, and dotting tools. Its like a piece of artwork you can eat, chocolate mocha icing with sprinkles on top!
