Lone Tree: A Senior Digital Pastel Painting by Parker Neugebauer (2021)

Creating this piece, I wanted to try to use a small color palette and instead vary the vibrancy while creating a background. Getting used to Photoshop took some time, as I was used to using Clip Studio Paint. Using different layers was beneficial when working on different areas of shadow, as I could more easily move things around and erase, without having to worry about changing the rest of the piece.

This project was valuable to me in that it introduced me to and familiarized me with Photoshop. It also helped me become more conscientious of lighting and color values.

During this project, I learned that I work better when things are divided into many layers so that I can make more fine-tuned decisions and also try out multiple things at once. Related website
