Matt Smartt

Over the past 2 weeks or so, I’ve jumped into teaching myself advanced Photoshop. There are a few areas in digital art that personally I want to develop more this year. Advanced Photoshop techniques  is one of them. I hooked up with Photoshop Top Secret, the coolest video workshops I’ve encountered! There is 4 DVDs, each with video tuts, assets, working files and cool tips to improve your Photoshop skills. I’ve gone through most of them now, and done some of the projects, and all I can say is wow! I’ve easily tripled my skill set and knowledge in Photoshop.

As well as developing my Photoshop skills, I also plan on bettering my Illustration techniques as well. I hope to pick up a drawing tablet from Wacom so I can draw right into Illustrator and Photoshop.

Below are some examples of the work I’ve done from Photoshop Top Secret, not all are from the DVDs, some I made up myself, but you’ll get an idea of the material you can cover and learn!

As always I’ll be back with updates at least twice a week!

I haven’t forgotten about the Smartt Definition Wallpapers either! College has pretty much consumed my life over this past month, but be prepared for some serious wallpaper action flying your way in the near future!
