Alice in Wonderland - Mad Hatters Tea Party #3 Final

Ta-Daaaa!! This is the final piece. I am very happy with the results and look forward to starting on the next piece!!

My Process: Final Stage
After the flat color has been established, I am able to open the Illustrator file in Corel Painter. I use the magic wand to select the color areas that I want to render. After I have my marching ants running around my selection, I am free to chose my colors and paintbrushes and get painting!

I continue the process throughout the painting until I have a finished product.

Alice in Wonderland - Mad Hatters Tea Party #2

My Process (cont'd)

Here you can see that all of the flat color is completed and I have added the rest of the characters. This gives me a really good idea of what the final piece will look like when it is finished! I'm very anxious to get started on the painting! I've had this in the "works of my mind" for the past few years and now it coming to fruition!

Next, I open the EPS file up in Photoshop. Here I make the piece its final working size, clean up anything coming from Illustrator, and get it ready to move to Painter.
