AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating long lasting images through the recording of light, either electronically or chemically using a light sensitive material like photographic film. Photography is employed in a range of scientific fields, as well as manufacturing and business, and of course its direct uses, such as art, film and video production and recreational uses, such as a hobby or as a directive of mass communication.

Photography typically uses a lens to focus the light that has either been emitted or reflected from objects that then make a real image on the light sensitive surface inside the camera during a timed exposure. With an electronic image sensor, an electronic charge is produced with each pixel and these are then processed electronically and digitally stored in a digital image file, for either future display or further processing.

Photographic emulsion gives the result of an invisible, but latent image which will later be chemically developed into a visible image, either positive or negative, depending on a couple of factors, and they are the purpose of the photographic material, and the processing method. A negative image on photographic film is traditionally used to create a positive image on a paper base. This is usually referred to as a print, and this is created using an enlarger or through contact printing.

WHAT DOES AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER DO?

An amateur photographer practices photography as a hobby or as a passion, not necessarily to make money. The work of some amateur photographers can be compared to that of many professional photographers and will either be highly specialised or eclectic in subject choice. Amateur photography is sometimes pre-eminent in the subjects being used as they have very minute commercial use prospects or any prospects of monetary gain for the photographer.

The growth of Amateur photography began in the late 19thCentury following a meteoric rise in popularity of hand-held cameras. In the present times, photography is so widely spread through social media and this has been aided by the evolution of photography equipment and platforms as well. The change in the equipment used for photography, like mobile phones with cameras that have also aided the progression of actual photo quality, have meant that photography has had its accessibility blown wide open.

DIGITAL ART

Digital Visual Art consists of either 2D visual information shown on an electronic visual display or 3D information that has been mathematically translated from 2D information, which is then viewed through perspective projection on an electronic visual display.

The simplest form of this is 2D Computer Graphics which may be a basic reflection of how one may draw with a pen or pencil and a piece of paper. In the instance of 2D Computer Graphics, the image is on the screen and the drawing implement is either a tablet stylus or a computer mouse. What is then generated on the screen has the appearance of a pencil, pen, or paintbrush.

The second kind of computer generated digital art is 3D computer graphics, in which the screen is the window into a virtual setting, and this becomes where objects are arranged to be “photographed” by the computer.

Typically, 2D computer graphics are comprised of raster graphics, their primary means of source representation, differentiating from 3D computer graphics which make use of vector graphics in order to create immersive VR installations. A third and final possible variation is the generation of 2D or 3D art through the sole use of algorithms that are embedded in computer programmes. This can be considered as the native form of computer art and the introduction to the history of computer art. This introduction can be found in an interview with the pioneer of computer generated art, Frieder Nake (Wikipedia.org, 2021).

Fractal Art, Data moshing, and algorithmic art, alongside real-time generative art are a few other examples.

DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION

Digital or Computer illustration is the use of digital tools to create images that have been directly manipulated by the artist. This is usually done through the use of a pointing device like a tablet stylus or a computer mouse. Digital harness mathematical models that are created by the artist. Digital Illustration can be separated easily from digital photo manipulation, what that means is that it is constructed from original designs and photos. Photographs are not usually the main base for Digital Illustration.

Illustration Software

There are two main types of application that are used for Digital Illustration:

· Bitmap Applications- Adobe Photoshop

· Vector Applications- Adobe Illustrator

Bitmap Applications:

Bitmap Applications are usually referred to as painting applications. With a bitmap application, the content is stored digitally in fixed rows and columns of pixels, which can be transformed into separate layers which can be isolated for easier manipulation of different parts of the image.

A bitmap image contains information regarding the hue, luminance, and saturation of each pixel. When the pointing device moves over a pixelated area of the image, new colours and values are applied to the underlaying pixels. Painting tools allow for the simple creation of “fuzzy” imagery, including glow or soft shadow effects and textures such as fur, velvet, stone, and skin and these are hugely used in photo retouching.

Vector Applications:

The second kind of digital illustration application is a Vector Application. Vector applications are more commonly referred to as drawing applications. It is referred to in this manor due to the differences in appearance of final products between the two applications, with regard to the look and feel.

Within vector based tools, the content is stored digitally as a resolution independent mathematical formula describing open paths (lines), closed paths (shapes), as well as colour fills, strokes, and gradients. Vector paths are built up of anchor points and paths segments by using the pointing device to click and move. Many vector graphics are readily available from internet databases which are editable and can be used for larger projects. Drawing tools can draw precise lines, shapes and patterns with well defined edges and are great for working with big constructions such as maps and typography.

Digital may include both vector and raster graphics in the same work. A bitmap file may be saved in a format which embeds a layer of vector information, and a vector image file may include imported bitmap images.

Digital Techniques:

Photo bashing is a technique that is mostly used by Concept Artists. The process involves the artist blending and merging photographs and/or 3D Assets as well as painting, so they can create a composite art piece. This technique is similar to the process of compositing in video editing. Concept artists use this technique to increase the accuracy of the piece but also to aide their productivity.

JUNIOR DIGITAL DESIGNER JOBS

To fulfil a job such as a Junior Digital Designer, I need to have a range of skills such as:

· Animation

· HTML

· JavaScript

· 3D Design

· UX/UI Design

As a part of a team of designers I’d have to share the collective responsibility of:

· Client support during the creative process

· Produce bespoke content using articulate storyline

· Creating, sourcing, and modifying imagery

· Collaborative with the creative team to work on animation, illustration, and design projects.

I’d need to have a strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite and a basic knowledge of design software such as After Effects.

I’d need to be a graduate or graphic designer with one year experience and be able to create engaging content for a global audience. I would work collaboratively in a team with an eagerness to develop my skills.

D.va Line Art Tutorial: Basic Level

I’ve been wanting to create some art tutorial for some time and I’ve finally did it! I hope there is some wisdom you get from this Tutorial, so let’s start!

Now this is a simple tutorial, so there wouldn’t be many advanced techniques, but the good thing is, it is simple, so that almost everyone can follow through, of course in the future, I will create even better tutorials that are easier to learn and understand.

I’ve always like illustrative art, and with my passion in digital painting, sometimes I try to combine them both together, and this is one of the result. In the future, I will try to constantly create many such illustrative art.

Software Used: Photoshop CS6, Corel Painter (optional)

Dimension: Approx 3000px x 3000px

1. Drawing stage

Now this is the part that I cannot teach you here: drawing.

It really depends on your drawing skills, and for those who can;t draw so well, my strong advice is: draw on paper.

While I did this in digital out of convenience, nothing beats drawing straight on paper. Drawing digitally will hardly improve your drawing skills at all if any (my observation & exp), but drawing on paper will improve your accuracy and drawing memory much much faster and better.

Take your time drawing, if you have a good base drawing, then everything else will be nice and easy, so don’t rush it.

2. Outlining Digitally

Depending on your preferences, you can just draw any patterns, but my design here is about Peacock & Lotus design, with the Peacock symbolizing Dva’s penchant for showing off, as for the Lotus... well it’s pretty!

As you can see here, some of my outlines are pretty sleek and smooth, and that’s because I create a new clean outline on top of my previous rough drawing. This is usually quite important in terms of line drawing/painting. It makes the process easier and the whole image more clean and finished.

Painter Technique: Now, I create my drawing in my favorite app Photoshop, but Photoshop it’s not for being very bad in making smooth lines, so you have to use another program to do that.

Currently, my favorite program for creating such smooth lines is Corel Painter. You can search for “Brush Smoothing” setting, and set the “Damping” to around 80 for a good line stabilization.

While I forgot which brush I use for this, I now recommend the 2B pencil with 100% opacity (The blue lines). Make them on a different layer.

Try and create the lines with as little strokes as possible. For long curved lines like the hair, you can utilized Painter’s awesome “Paint on a path” feature, just check it on the top toolbar settings. It allows you to create a path and paint straight onto it, thus saving the frustration of redrawing again and again to get that smooth long lines.

For the red lines, “Concept Art Jitter Smooth” Under the Chalk section.

Other Software Technique: This line art technique can also be done with other software with brush stabilization feature like SAI, or Clip Paint Studio, and many others, so don’t worry if you don’t have Painter.

3. Base Colors

Now the next step is to bring the image back to Photoshop for coloring. Use the pen tool and create the basic shapes and fill them with block colors in different layers.

Now it is tempting to use the Lasso or the Paint bucket to fill, but don’t. The lasso tool has problem in creating smooth lines (which we need), and also the paint bucket (I’ll explain next time how to use it in another Tutorial).

If you have created the paths and shapes in different layers, then you can lock the layer transparency and start painting with the real desired colors.

Here I used the soft Airbrush in PS to paint it some reddish hue around her cheeks and forehead. Don’t worry about getting the colors very accurate for now, since you have separated them to different layers, it is very easy to make adjustments later on. Also, don’t forget to add a background, preferably grey or some neutral colors. It helps better to gauge the value of the colors later on, if you put white, most colors seem too dark, and of you put black, colors will seem too bright.

4. Start Painting

On a layer above the body, I painted the peacock leaves by using the Lasso tool, fill colors, and use airbrush to paint it highlights and shadow.

For the Lotus leaves, I use the Lasso, but I don’t fill it, since I want the blackness of the suit to come through. And instead of using the Airbrush, I use the PS standard round brush, with shape dynamic off and opacity pressure on, I painted with downward strokes lightly to create the leaf textures, and painted the same way again with brighter colors, and add a final highlight and the tip of most leafs.

5. More Painting

Continue painting the leafs, and the the shoulders, before moving to other parts like the gun. I’ve also added more leafs underneath the original leaf layer, since I felt it looked a bit empty. For the glow of the feathers, I simply create a layer on top of the outline layer, and set it to “color dodge”, and add some bright colors.

If the colors look weird/off, simply use Hue/Saturation to edit them till it looks right, then color pick from that section and paint the rest.

6. Finishing/Editing

As you can see, I changed the hair, since I wasn’t satisfied with the previous color. To get the bright look, you need to start with a white base. And as with the gloves, shoulders and hair, I changed their base colors to white.

Then with my texture brush, I simply painted according to the form, and leave some white shining through in the middle. This will created those “white sheen” you see here. Then for the hair, I painted darker colors near the tip/end of the hairs. I’ve also brighten the her face in the process.

For the background, I was actually a little clueless on what to paint. So I just painted some light strokes using the same textured brush and add a design element on it. Maybe next time, with better planning, I will create better backgrounds.

End Note:

So there you have it, and as you have learnt, there isn’t any complicated techniques behind this picture, and if you have prepared each stage accordingly step by step, everything later will become easier. Of course this is not the most detailed tutorial as some steps can be broken down even further to make it clearer, but that is for future tutorials!
