QuickTime Screen Capture

Posted on March 30, 2019 by Dennis

My friend James wondered if I might be able to throw up a DEMO on my digital painting process. I said I can’t because my old screen capture software no longer works on new IOS… and that got me thinking. After a quick investigation I discovered a little known feature on all Macs… Quicktime will do screen capture, so here is something I threw together super fast for James.

My process is really simple. I draw my pictures traditionally. Scan them into my computer (Photoshop) and make the DRAWING a MULTIPLY layer so I can see through it. I work on the layer BELOW to block in colors and put the finishing touches on the layer ABOVE the drawing. Pretty simple…. and the music is a clip from something my youngest son Pete wrote and produced.

Awesome Dennis, you were the inspiration of me moving from traditional work to Digital.
As busy as you are and to take time out to show us one style that can help many moving in this direction is a blessing.
Thank you my friend.
