DesignProVideo Tutorial:Drawing Objects In Photoshop CS4(Photoshop CS4 402)

DesignProVideo Tutorial:Drawing Objects In Photoshop CS4(Photoshop CS4 402) In this 3-hour tutorial by industry-pro Mark Stope, you’ll learn how to create photo-realistic mock-ups of objects using nothing but a Wacom Tablet and Photoshop CS4.
Drawing objects in Photoshop CS4 is similar to drawing objects with a pen and pencil. First you
sketch out the object as a rough line drawing, and then block it into place and wrap it with a final
texture to provide realism. While it sounds easy, there’s a few tricks to doing this on the computer
that can make your artistic life a lot easier … and this tutorial shows you the way.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to mock-up a CD case, a security camera, a detailed rocket ship, and
an old-school cannon. You’ll start by seeing how easy it is to use a Wacom tablet to sketch-out line
drawings of the objects you want to produce. Next, you’ll see valuable skills for blocking out any
real-life object using simple primitive shapes in Photoshop CS4. Finally, you’ll be taken through
the fine art of finding and wrapping your objects with textures (either “liberated” from the
Internet or created by hand) to provide stunning realism for the objects you make in Photoshop.
This is a comprehensive tutorial, but you don’t need to watch it all. Use the search functions and
