A sculpture

maybe a little bit unbelievable, this sculpture is totally made out of trash. nothing is glue on, all the elements are fixed on the piece of wood by melt wax. i didn't expect i can make these bunch of trash looks this good. all i got were a candle, 2 pieces of wood, a piece of fabric and a few cards, i didn't even have a pair of scissors. 

how brush texture helps photoshop painting

here is a digital drawing i did years ago. it's very simple in process, but turn out really nice. i'm showing some of the process work.

first, i got some blocks going on. they are just fine color squares.

and very ez, after i put on a few strokes of brushes, it looks just like some kind of grass. after this step, i had some hardcore work on color to make sure all the colors works well together.

those little building, i draw them in 1px brush. now i figure i have some perspective issue with those tiny buildings, but doesn't matter, you can't see it. lol

oil pastel to digital

how you doing today? today im sharing a progress of my recently piece, here is the finished piece.

here is the original  oil pastel drawing of the poster. the color is kind mismanage, and it doesn't seem clean without some outline. don't worry, i'm a digital painter. scan it in to computer and life is all good.

 and then reedit the color and add some strong outline in photoshop. actually pretty ez, but took me like 12 hours just for digital editing. i turn the picture up side down and use it as background.

Photography for our Detroit

the three pictures im showing here is some photography i did for dear Detroit city.

im sharing some idea about composition too.

this is one of the unusual composition, but works so well. in this picture, the huge amount of information can catch your eyes really easily. and the contrast of the sky and land is a great touch.

 believe or not, symmetric composition on photography is always amazing. 

this one is a very typical golden ratio composition, and i work on bring the dark detail back a lot on this one. light the dark area is always a good move for landscape.
