Thanksgiving approaches and I’ve taken it into my head to create a new holiday desktop wallpaper. The wallpaper is titled “Cow Meat:”

I drew the entire line art version of the picture using the Pen tool in Photoshop, which is a very difficult tool to master. This is one of the first drawings that I’ve done entirely in Photoshop….as in: I didn’t sketch it on paper first before moving it to the computer.
The finished piece totals 69 layers and 8 layer sets (for those of you who are unfamiliar with Photoshop, a “set” is a folder of layers). I don’t know about anyone else, but this is definitely a record for me. I’ve never worked with that many layers before. Actually, I think it about killed my computer to work with this many layers today!
Special thanks to Redheadstock of DeviantArt for the grass and cloud brushes and the wood pattern that I used in this picture. Also, special thanks to DragoArt.com for their “How to Draw Baby Birds” tutorial, which I used to help with the basics of my turkey.
Happy soon-to-be Thanksgiving! Enjoy the wallpaper.
Buzz it!
