I started using Photoshop and Corel Draw when they first came out back some 20 years ago when these application programs were in their early stages. Photoshop was just a painting software then and was owned by a small shoestring budget company before Adobe acquired it. And the most you could do with Corel Draw was make lines and circles, no colors except green lines against a black screen. In those days, no one was teaching these programs to anybody. I had to learn all the quirks and bugs [and there were a lot of them] by trial & error and by depending on crude technical manuals. Man! I feel old. Point is that I have used these tools including 3D generators practically in all my graphic art projects.

Here I used Photoshop to transform a number of memorable faces into Biblical characters.

Abraham

Speaker of the House

An angry Elijah the prophet

Noah

In this project, I first used Corel Draw to make an initial layout for this visual composition of Noah’s Ark. Then I placed everything together in Photoshop. Except for the Ark and the grass which were mostly art work, all the other elements like the animals and the background were cropped and placed into the scene. Thank goodness for “Layers”.
