The course is presented with Ulead PhotoImpact in mind but is general in scope so that any graphics application can be used. I am using both Corel Painter IX and Adobe Photoshop CS. Lots of drawing and painting basics information!

The thumbnail images below will open in a to a new, larger window. Be sure to close after viewing.

1. The different boxes shown with their respective perspective lines.
2. The sketches which I enjoyed doing very much, had never really tried this before.
3. The shapes with shading to attempt to show the lighting. I still need work at this. I created the shapes by using the selection tool for rectangle and circle, filling with color and then shading with the Airbrush. The cylinder is a combination of the rectangle and circle. The cone made by using the grid to draw a triangle and then adding a circle to thebottom.

1. Cup sketch for which I used the pen tool in Photoshop.
2. This is a Waverly cup which has a matching bowl and salad plate. I chose it because I love the colors and mixture of dots and stripes. I used Painter Artists' Oil brushes and Blender brushes. Airbrushes were used for shadows and details.
3. Detail
4. Detail
5. What a nice surprise to discover that Painter has a Perspective Grid! I didn't use it for this project but do intend in the future to use it for creating boxes, houses, etc. I took this screen capture just to show how nice it is.
