Sumo Paint is a lot like a watered-down version of Photoshop and so we were exploring the possibilities. The two original photos I collected from morguefiles.com which allow you to use the images freely as they are Creative Commons - in the public domain.
I used selections and layers and "painted" this fun old Gel up. As you can see the quality is not perfect as I just chose the default size Sumo Paint offered me, which was not very large. I did not want to get lagged down with a large file.
Definately not near anything I'd offer a client but it does demonstrate the ability to give a painterly effect to a portrait.
And then I worked out this last one, loosely based on a sketch.
So if you like to dabble you might like to give Sumo Paint a whirl! There is a Pro Version for just a few dollars, might be worth it! There are many wonderful brushes and also filters as well, to choose from.
I think I'd still choose the free version of Art Rage if I were to want to actually just paint.
Have YOU painted anything online lately?
I'm also taking Microsoft Office at school too. So thats what I've been up to! There, posted - everyone happy now?
Boy you are just so busy learning good for you. I wish one of the schools around here offered more. Maybe when we move to a little bigger city.

Good morning Barb:)
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't me that told you to put up fresh content..at least I don't remember doing that.hehe...but hey..I am not going to complain that you did.:)
How interesting...just this week my niece told me that Sumo Paint is the program she used on her photos she posted to Facebook. She even sent me to her page where she keeps her work.She also told me that she got a job from a Photographer as an apprentice.How cool is that? She is soo excited and she now takes so many pics ..it is hard to keep up with.hehe
I haven't had the time to try the program out ..but what I see..is pretty COOL!
Thanks for taking time to post!! LOVE it when you do.:)
Love and hugs,
Valinda

Painting something online or IRL requires artistic ability, which I do not have ;)
