Have you ever tried masking out a person using a mouse? 🫢 @ruthiesmagicalcamera did and it really sucked. 🤷🏻♀️
Ruthie likes to have full control over every single detail on her photo composites, and editing with a Wacom pen allows her to get really deep in the details, with razor sharp precision, as if she were painting over her photos 💃✍️📸🌾

Enjoy this stylized illustration created by @bonehaus inspired by his recent trip to Amsterdam.
He goes full circle, collecting inspiration and reference, sketching in #AdobePhotoshop, illustrating in #AdobeIllustrator, and then right back to #photoshop for finalizing color and texture 🔄✌️
Once in Illustrator, Kirk outlines and traces the major shapes of his sketch, then removes the lines and focuses instead on shapes and shadows.
"I start building in more shadows and more details to help separate any of the shapes that are struggling without that outline. I like my art without a ton of outline, so I prefer the challenge of using some shadows and highlights and stuff to separate them.”

How do you keep inspired during ordinary days?
@buttersketch shares a glimpse into her creative process, full of graphic novels, picture books, music, journaling and art materials.
"“I really love bribing myself with new materials,” she confesses with a smile. “I think it helps my brain bypass the anxiety of starting, because now I’m focused on just playing.”
