I think that I’ve almost got Photoshop figured out. For one thing, I actually bothered to learn how to use the path tool. I used it to make swirlies!
The colours and positions of the swirls will most likey be different in the finished piece. I’ve just got them like this so that they are easier to see.
I must put food in “mah belleh” now.
“Suspended” now has some lines and some shapes.
The lesson I learned today, about oil paint, was that I either need to wait longer between layers or have more paint on my brush. There was much mixing of the background with the foreground and, thus, swearing.
Don’t worry about that carpet. It was purchased specifically to get dirty.
I finally got around to reinstalling Photoshop. I can now get back to photoshoping Steve Buscemi’s head onto the bodies of goats… And making digital arts. Tral alal lala…
Like this arts I made? It’s an infected heart with weird pushpins stuck into it. It’s meant to represent the hardships of coal miners.
No it’s not…
My original plan for an artsy farting for today was thwarted, so, instead you get this lovely picture of an amigurumi jellyfish that I handcrafted, all on my lonesome, on a dark and stormy night, with no defense against the predators and fiendish elements of the darkness…
Tis truly a cute jellyfish, no?
Anyway, I don’t think I have enough rings on my thumb.
This is the background for an oil paint practice project that I’m doing. It’s still very much wet and it’s likely to stay that way for a while, what with being oil paint and all. I’ll have to wait a day or two before it’s dry enough for the next layer.
This was my first ever time of using a palette knife. It was exciting!
Here’s the “Mystery Project” again. I’m going to have to go over the red lines once or twice more. That red is not quite as opaque as I’d like it to be.
In other news, the basement is once again cleared of people, so I can finally get back to working at night, without having to worry about waking people up. Productivity will soar!
Soooooo, I remembered too late that, since I upgrade to Windows 7, Photoshop and my tablet are no longer installed. So, instead of an awesome drawing, you get this crappy drawing and I will regale you with an awesome true story.
During the big power-out of 2003, I was all like “Don’t worry, the power will turn on any second now.” and then, about a second later, the power turned back on.
Awesome eh? Totally awesome. You can’t even contemplate how awesome that was.
Too bad only my brothers were around to see it. *frowny-face*
With Windows 7, Microsoft has improved their Paint program for, like, the first time in, like, 30 years.
New Features:
Look at this glorious icon of an image I have created with Windows 7‘s Paint. Gaze into it. GAZE!
Also, it’s, like, Friday the 13th, today. So, like, I’ve got to go turn into a werewolf, or something, now.
See, now this dealie is starting to take shape. It’s got a pretty flower and everything.
Here is a background I have randomly painted. I’m not quite sure what I’m going to paint on top of it, but I’ll think of something.
