Art Illustration digital techniques, Adobe Photoshop skills & traditional creative techniques combined
I have just been lucky enough to be given Adobe photoshop so i have been teaching myself how to use it. I have been creating art with my new creative software by uploading art & retouching it & making imagies completely from scratch using the adobe features. I am loving using it although i am defiantly not an expert by any means! I am learning new skills all the time. UTube is great for tutorials & there are adobe magazines out there to buy & learn from. You can view all my art on my redbubble page www.redbubble.com/people/melaniedann

| zombi plants & juicy eyeballs was created as a art print for www.redbubble.com/people/melaniedann and this one was totally created on Adobe photoshop. Using photshop is a real plus when it comes to printing on products as the colours are so bold & make a great print. By Melanie Dann |

| cosmic girl space inspired art was a hand sketch to start with just pencil on paper then i scanned it into Adobe photoshop & brought her to life. Using photoshop really was great for some of the effects i used like the lens flare which is the light spots on the art. She looks great printed onto a fashion bag & even skirts are now available on redbubble.com/people/melaniedann By melanie Dann |

| this was the original pen & ink sketch of floating feathers that was taken into photoshop & changed into the design below for redbubble.com/people/melaniedann by melanie dann |

| I really wanted this design to look great when repeated onto fashion leggings,skirts & bags so thats why i added the black background so it could be joined up without a obvious seam or edge. I wanted it to be bold so i added the hot pinks & purple feathers. Find this on redbubble.com/people/melaniedann by melanie dann |

| this was a cute red ridding hood cat on the way to grandmas house in the deep dark woods i did do a sketch first but just of the cats face then everything els was created in photoshop. The thing i love the most is you can change your mind when creating digital art & its not a major drama & when adding elements to the design you can undo then redo & see which you prefer. The stars were just a paintbrush options so already done for you shape wise. Find this cute creation on my redbubble page redbubble.com/people/melaniedann by melanie dann |
