Custom Brushes

Here are the custom brushes I made in photoshop. If I create any more custom brushes, I will be sure to add them to this post.
This one is an 11, because why not. It also adds a cool, pixel effect when you use it.

This one is made of cross hatching, so I can use it to easily make cross-hatching.
 This one is made up of dots, which creates an interesting texture when layered many times.
This one is made up of several triangles, and I was really creative with this one. Although it has no true practical use, it still creates a cool, triangle effect when used.
This one is made of random curly lines, which I applied different filters and transformations to to make it look unique, and it creates a really interesting effect once used.

Mystery Image Photo

This is the piece of the mystery image that I got. It is photo #10.

Negative Space Drawing

Here is my negative space drawing!
I made it unique by  layering different images in the
negative spaces, and then I applied filters to them to make my artwork even more interesting. One example is the fact that I used a layer blend in the middle on the bottom to color the shadows of the drawing, and I inverted the colors to add the contrast between blue and orange. Another example is on the top, where I made strips of one image essentially "cutting through" the image below it, and applies filters to make it look much more interesting. And, as I always do, I put some hidden secrets into my artwork, the only difference being that I will tell you what they are, and let you try and find them. There are eleven 11's hidden throughout my artwork. Good luck finding them all!

Layers Palette


And is the layers palette of my finished drawing. I had to do 2 screenshots of it because I used so many layers that they wouldn't all fit in one window.

Contour Object Drawing

I finished my drawing, and I think it came out great. The focal point of my drawing is the roller in the center, as well as the other white objects on my drawing. The contrast of the white drawings against the black background makes them stand out from the other objects. The technique that I used the most in finishing my drawing was locking the transparency to make some of the objects white. Not only that, but instead of making some objects, like the feather and the shell, completely white, I simply did stripes of white to make then unique. I even blurred some of the white objects to further make them more interesting. Another thing that makes my drawing unique is the fact that I erased some part of objects to make it truly look like some were overlapping others. I even hid several video game references and other references in my artwork to make it even more unique and interesting. Good luck finding them! (And I'm not giving any hints!)
