Here's a new Digital Fine Art Painting that I just finished today. It's titled "Sean's Leaf". It's from an old photo that I took back in '93 of my son holding a leaf while standing next to a tree.

I call myself a fine artist, but I am also a digital fine artist. I think the difference is that I’m not creating digital art that comes across as graphic art, or looks digitally painted. If I create digital art that looks the same as if it was hand made, then I consider that fine art, not digital

Since the "Professional" photographer that took his official UNLV graduation portrait did not know what he was doing, I (as in my Wife) decided to do the portrait myself at home.

Here are the steps that I used to create my son Sean's UNLV graduation portrait.

1. Shoot high res digital photos inside & outside. The background would not matter, only the pose.

2. Using Photoshop CS4, I masked out the background & cleaned up the outside photo (had a better smile).

3. Then I decided to use the eyes from the inside photo, as they were wide open, where as the outside eyes were squinting. So using Photoshop, I masked out & copied his eyes only, & merged them into the face from the outside photo.

4. Having shot an extra photo of a close up of the University logo on the sash, I was able to place it high enough onto the sash so it would be visible in the portrait.

5. I chose a stock background texture, & after altering the colors & brightness to be more suitable, I placed it into the background of the Photoshop portrait.

Seems like a lot of work, but it was worth it in the end to have a great graduation portrait of my son.
