This is one I'll treasure forever: a very special print on the wall of my temporary office, Times Square, New York, drawn and painted in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator by my friend, the incredible Bert Monroy. It's hard to put into words how much it means to have it. Bert is someone I followed from day one when I first started using Photoshop, and I've learned so much from him; techniques I used back when I did more compositing work, and that I still turn to when retouching my photography. Having presented on the same stage as Bert, and travelled to present around the world with him, I'm honoured and blessed to call him a friend. The video is a live broadcast I hosted with Bert as my guest, where he talks about creating his detailed artwork using traditional Photoshop techniques, no AI, and zooms in on Times Square.
CREATING ARTISTIC MASTERPIECES using PHOTOSHOP and NO A.I. with Bert Monroy
This is the recording of a live broadcast where I chat with Photoshop legend and artist Bert Monroy about how he creates his incredibly detailed masterpieces of art using Photoshop. Bert also gives us a look at how he uses traditional Photoshop techniques, with no AI at all, to create life-like realism and effects. Watching him work, you get a real sense of the skill behind every piece, and just how much is possible with traditional techniques alone.
