Island Concepts: Photoshop Brush Experimentation


Taking a few of the rough sketches I drew out of the island as a whole from my sketchbook, I've practiced using a few different methods and warm ups in Photoshop. I was inspired to try this more often after being pleased with how the look of my bird priest concept character turned out.

From comparing these three thumbnail drawings, I think that image 2 has the most detail, realism and tone to it. However, this also took the longest to draw out by quite a substantial amount of time.

1 looks the most cartoon like, but this could also be down to use of colour; for drawings 2 and 3, I changed the palette for a much more muted tones.

Ultimately, I think the method used in image 1 gets the concept/ colours and shapes across the fastest, so could be suitable for quick drawings or storyboards. 2 has the most detail so could be used for more in detail concept art of characters, objects or specific places maybe. 3 has a really interesting texture to it, so could be used for feathers, stone, grass, plants etc.
