Color Sketch Study


Working on a new art piece and at a point creating layers in photoshop and adding some color for atmosphere. Playing with the Hue/Saturation from the Image menu. My next step is to start coloring 
the individual elements such as the alien, astronaut panda and the flying vessel in the distance. I will create some layers above the bottom layers and start coloring. The paint layer I am working on I will change to multiply so the color will blend from underneath. The individual elements will be painted with my brushes I created in Photoshop CS5. I will keep you posted as I complete more of this painting.
