Tools: Galaxy Tab S7

When it comes to digital work I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 tablet with S-Pen. I use Infinite Painter for Android by Infinite Studio. I also have a vector app called Infinite Designer also by Infinite Studio but I don’t use it much these days except for the occasional quick idea drawing.

In this post I’m showing how I change colors slightly after adding some texture with the Old Oil brush I made a slight modification to. Infinite Painter gives one lots of options to make changes to brushes or create a completely new brush.

I typically use the fill tool with a tolerance between 1 & 3. This time I set the tolerance to 1 so it would fill only the closest matching color that I choose to click on. This brings out a bit more of the brushed textures. Overall the color changes may appear to be rather subtle but compare the darker blue areas.

I have quickly added colors to the various shapes and have started to add some textures. Next I’m going to make some of the colors darker or lighter and change the shades to other variations.

Here is a real sneak peek at a new Bakersfield Hill painting I started last recently. The outlines have been drawn and I will fill the shapes with solid colors after which I will add textures using various brushes.

I start out with a basic drawing then add solid colors using the fill tool in Infinite Painter before using various brushes to add textures.

More portrait work

I felt like I was a bit too tight in my rendering with the clowning fish piece so I tried working looser with this one. I used the pencil brushes and watercolor brush I normally use and several paint brushes that I haven't use before. There are a lot of brushes to choose from in Infinite Painter and there is plenty of room for experimenting and exploration.

Clowning a Fish

I found several images of fish on the web and this one seemed to fit the bill. The image here is in process.
