Digital Matte Painting By Daniel “Wade” Hammonds

Introduction to Digital Matte Painting By Daniel “Wade” Hammonds

This tutorial was produced using a 3 button mouse, Photoshop CS2 and various personal and stock photographs.

What you will see here is a very basic introduction to digital matte painting techniques, but these can be adapted or taken in many directions. When producing your own work, you may wish to spend more time on the details, create your own structures or even re-paint the finished result. You can aim for something more realistic, work in colour and forego many of the overpainting and lighting techniques. Generally, the more time you put into your image, the better your result will be. Just try to be flexible and feel free to experiment.
