Digital Paint Magazine July Issue is Here, Pet portraits abound!

This is an awesome issue. Probably the best yet. This is the issue to read if you want some terrific tutorials on painting pet portraits. Inside this issue are gobs of articles starting with Scott Deardorff’s article and tutorial, The Evolution of an Animal Portrait”.

Barb Hartsook’s Brush and Pen Column this month is Painting Our Pets and takes a nice peek into eyes. Cat eyes. Skip at Right Click brings us an awesome piece titled, The Journey. Skip ends up with a nice water color pet portrait of his best friend Corey. Skips classes can be found at Digital Art Academy.

Guest author and artist Diana Dillion shares some words and paintings in her article aptly titled Pet Portraits. (Also see Diana’s upcoming pet portrait classes at Digital Art Academy.)

Karen Bonaker gives us some great tips on composition and using some of painters tools to help control where you place your viewer in your image.

If you have been reading DPM very long you may be like most people and really look forward to Victor Lunn-Rockliffe’s zany cartoons…you wont be disappointed.

You will notice there is one thing missing….you, the reader. The readers gallery in empty this month. Shoot us your images and share your talent with the world. Sent them to readersgallery@digitalpaintmagazine.com
