      • Creating Age Digitally

        Posted at 8:46 am by gatf, on June 3, 2018

        Here’s another advertisement for our favourite  ‘would-be’ chocolate. It is typeset in Gondolieri, and used as a test piece for some exercises in digital weathering and ageing…

      • The Three Duchesses

        Posted at 5:01 am by gatf, on May 27, 2018

        And here is the digital painting finished.

        A digital painting which Just finished. Three Duchesses wait alongside each other in steam.. The scene is from imagination and a little artistic licence has been applied to have Green Maroon and Blue liveries all present together. Drawn with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, I’m just as pleased with this as any of my traditional paintings.

      • Digital Art – By Traditional Working Methods

        Posted at 1:30 pm by gatf, on May 13, 2018

        In amongst my front work some of my time is taken up with other projects… Here’s a digital painting which is under way (using Apple Pencil and iPad Pro. The Three Duchesses will show three of Sir William Stanier’s Duchess locos in steam but on shed.

        The first step was a ‘pencil’ sketch:

        2018-05-09 21.59.11

        This was very much like working in traditional pencil… except for the remarkable ability to cut and paste.  Quite a time saving, but not something to be utilised in the finished painting I think…

        Here’s progress to date on turning the sketch into a ‘painting’. This is all happening in ‘Sketch Club’, and painting is using a mix of a pencil tool and a ‘watercolour’ brush, you can have all sorts of ‘mixed media’ combinations in these drawing applications.  The effects are shown well in the detail below:

        More updates to follow, as things progress!
