After a couple of weeks playing with my digitizing graphics tablet I’ve spent many an hour learning new techniques and concepts in Photoshop. Following on my previous blog… I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without using one of these babies! The precision and control is amazing and has definitely opened up many a door for improving my skills and speed of workflow.

Here are a couple of before and after shots of some work I just completed in Photoshop using my Intuos3 Tablet… prepare yourself for a ride down Alice in Wonderland’s rabbit hole:

Chocolate Dipped Frog:

Both ideas were inspired and created after watching a tutorial on the Photoshop Top Secret DVD series. I highly recommend going out and buying a copy as I did… *cough* *cough* It’s a great series that helps you understand and learn various techniques that you can use in Photoshop to achieve some pretty amazing results. Overall I think they were executed quite well, but there’s definitely room for improvement…

Let me know what you think!
