This was done in Photoshop CS3. I was more comfortable with Corel Painter prior to painting this, so I decided I would step out of my comfort zone and try out Photoshop. Another reason for having done that was because I didn’t want this particular piece to be too painterly, and often times it’s hard to avoid that when you are using Corel. This was done in three parts: the face, upper torso and background. After everything was painted, I turned to the adjustment feature to unify the colors and values in all three components, making the final piece a much more harmonious whole than it was originally.

I bought my very first drawing tablet after watching a youtube tutorial on digital painting a few years ago. Corel 4 came with the one I bought, so I did a lot of my first practice paintings on it. As a result, I became more comfortable utilizing Corel for digital painting even though I was aware that I could do the same in Photoshop. After completing Leila in Corel, I switched over to Photoshop to paint the background. The papers were also rendered in photoshop using the warp and scale tools to add variation. Finally, after all the embellishments and details have been added, I was able to play with the curve tool in Photoshop and create more contrast to what was originally a very faded and blown-out illustration.
