Photoshop is the worlds best-known, best-loved and just downright best photographic manipulation application. Its used by retouchers, fine artists, graphic designers, photographers, and everyone who works with images in any form.
But theres another side to Photoshop. In my work as an illustrator for newspapers and magazines, I frequently have to come up with a finished image against impossibly tight deadlines. And if I dont have a suitable photograph of a flying saucer, or a leather book from just the right angle, or an award trophy, or a paperclip, then I often end up drawing it directly inside Photoshop.
Drawing in Photoshop isnt just a second-rate alternative when we cant find the right image. When we draw an object, we can create it at exactly the shape and angle we want. We can also make it perfectly in focus, with perfect lighting. Drawn objects can be crisper and better defined than even the sharpest photograph: it can often be quicker, too, to draw something rather than to find the real thing and photograph it.
Theres a real pleasure to be taken from creating an entire illustration from scratch, without using any photographs whatsoever. And while we might still use a photograph as reference material, this is no different to a conventional artist using a model or prop to draw from.
Everything in this book has been drawn entirely in Photoshop, using only the filters and tools that come with the application. Although Photoshop has got better and better with each new version, theres nothing in this book that cant be achieved with a version thats five or more years old.
Drawing from scratch in Photoshop is both hugely enjoyable and highly instructive. By creating our objects we learn a lot about how real world items reflect light, how surfaces are constructed, and how shadows can help make an image more dramatic and help it to look more realistic. And by learning to draw objects, we also improve our Photoshop skills tremendously.
