experimenting with adding colour on photoshop


matt suggested we should attempt to play around with photoshop as we need to familiarise ourself with the progress as it is a very important and useful skill to have for editing or  creating work.
i have only really used photoshop for editing work, therefore for the colour task i have tried to create work from scratch, adding colour digitally to a drawing.
i used the paint brush tool for the skin, i found it quite difficult to build up tone as i started off with a low opacity and tried to add more to where was needed, however this made it hard to create a smooth texture. so then i experimented with just using darker and lighter colours at full opacity to see if this made any difference to the smoothness.

though i enjoyed doing something different, i think i will need to play around further because i use this software to produce fully digital pieces, for now i will stick to using photoshop to edit handmade work until i can use it better.
