Steem Cartoon : Painting with Shapes (Morning Glory)
My favourite kind of theme. The nature. This time I would want to try something really different. I want to create an entire picture made out of only one shape. I am attempting to do this without the use of brush.
The subject matter that I have chosen is unique because of the shape and colour that has its intrinsic appeal. This flower is also often used by many amateur and professional artists.

I took this picture when I was cycling around my neighbourhood yesterday and the flower seems like a good subject matter for my steemit post, so here you go.
Why do I choose the pentagon shape? This is a basic shape that closely resembles that of the flower. It is also a shape that is easy to rotate at all angles. This is where I find the tools in photoshop
Start with a rough sketch. It does not have to be detailed. What is most important is to positioning of the flower.
Caoture the share of the flower by using basic colours. Each flower must be separated by a layer.
It can be coloured very simply. At this point I cannot use the effect layer for shadow and lighting. Everything has to be chosen from palette colour and this method is good to train an artist to understand in detail the selection of colours.
This time I start to move the details slowly on the surface of the flower. The precision in creating shadow on each colour selectionb becomes more challenging because it will spoil the artwork if the positioning of the shape is inaccuate.
Then we can move the object such as the leaves and the tree trunks. For this process I use colours such as olive green and yellow ochre to blend the colours with the background colour.
For the final step, I focus on the background colour. To improve the radiance of this piece of work, I increase the contrast and thickness of colour on each movement shape. To improve on the details, I can place some highlight colours on the important parts.
The final result is quite an interesting one. It is very different from using the brush technique that I have been providing tutorials prior to this post. The only problem with this technique is to create a realism art. It takes a of time. I hope that this challenging technique can help you improve on the choice of colour paletting.
