Project #4 - Photoshop Experimentation

I'm afraid I have no excuse to why I didn't post yesterday... Except that maybe my internal clock is busted beyond repair... It never occurred to me that it was Friday yesterday!! I can't believe I never even gave my poor blog a thought!... But never the less, at least I'll hopefully make up for it today... I even have two things I've been working on instead of one!

Ok so here is the first thing I worked on a few weeks ago... It's pretty lame I know... But it was fun anyway playing around with new styles!

All rights got to the original artist--> WildRainOfIceAndFire

Basically all I did was take the Brush tool and used the Eyedropper to go over and just paint the same color over the picture bits at a time... I used a soft brush to get a very soft look... So far I'm actually pretty happy with it even though I really didn't do much to it... The same goes for this picture I did awhile back--> Blossom on Bob wire. Except for that one I also took the original picture! :)

For the next picture I just did it yesterday while I was busy forgetting to post! >_< 

(Click to see more detail)

This is a rough sketch of my character that I created for a comic awhile back... I doubt I'll get to writing anything (or drawing anything) for it anytime soon... ever maybe... But I just thought I would use her to practice some perspective and stuff... I really stink at it but this is my sorry attempt to improve.... Hopefully if I get to finishing it and coloring it I'll let you all know! And I will most likely post it on my deviantArt account first... :)

Thanks for looking!!!

Project #3 - The Altered Sweater

I really meant to post this earlier... It was chaos trying to find my camera, new batteries, and my tripod.... But anyway, I still managed to post today!

So here is the only picture I have of what it originally looked like...

Unfortunately the quality is not very good... I took this a few months ago before I thought about using my tripod... But oh well... At least now you get to see the awesome Erik sleepy hat! which is very nice when it is cold and I can't stand being upstairs unless I'm wrapped head to toe...

This is a bonus... picture I did that day of me drawing in my room. :)

And yes... It was freakishly cold that day.... (you can see the temp on the clock... >_< )

So now onto what I did!!

Here is the picture I took today of the sweater... (Sorry these pictures didn't come out great...)

You can see the basic changes... I basically just cut right down the middle then had to sew the edges so they don't pull apart... of course I'm not secretly any pro seamstress or anything, so it has some odd lumps and such here and there... It was all done by hand, I even did the button hole myself! I also took it in at the back a bit... (I got it an extra large, and I'm normally either an extra small or just small....)
So yeah.  there you have it...

Here is a picture of it on me :)

The lighting was really bad when I took the pictures... It gets dark so early here!! I did get a lot done today though... so I'm happy. :)

Thanks for looking!! I promise the next post will be better. ^_^

And if you haven't seen it yet... I set up an extra page for my random drawings that I don't show anybody... hehehe

New Schedule

Since I started this project series I haven't been able to hold my posts off until the end of the week... And I really didn't want to have a huge number of posts and then, just ......none.... Sooo I decided to start scheduling them! They will be on Fridays and Tuesdays from here on out... Until of course I'm busy and have to post a different day... But anyway there it is... :)

I'm sorry I couldn't post my Project #3 today... I had planned too, but I had only remembered what the project was till just now! I had this slightly over sized sweater that I bought last year... And I wasn't too fond of the way it hung on me so this week I changed it tremendously!!! (In my opinion :)

So anyway, that was my project... and I'll be posting it Tuesday since I couldn't find my camera and I am really busy right now... So sorry! :(

Project #2 - Autumn Well

For Project #2, I have this!.... Yeah.. Not much, I know... But it is still a work in progress. :) It is done with all Prismacolored pencils. I started it a few weeks ago just for practice. I was pretty happy with the way this one came out. So I thought I would try my luck and experiment again... Unfortunately I really over estimated my new abilities... I'm fond of the colors, but it still looks pretty sloppy... 

This is the reference picture I used. I love all the art this guy does! I want to learn to draw just like that some day... But for now I must except my insignificant skills... Sad as that may be... :(

I will try to finish this and re-post...  Thanks for looking!

Project #1 - Digital Wardrobe

So I think I will go ahead and share some of the projects I'm working on currently! This is one I was experimenting with a reaaally long time ago... But now with my slightly improved abilities I think it will be much more effective now.


The idea is to draw every article of clothing I currently possess, and then effectively transfer them to Flash, hence forth making a personalized digital wardrobe for myself!... Of course this is a bit outlandish for my basically nonexistent Flash skills... But I shall try nevertheless....


                            Ok so here is the basic sketch of one of my favorite outfits of the month...

 Although I plan to put these in Flash, like I said I don't even know what do to with anything in there... (It's like a whole other world  >_<) So I have decided for the present to mess with it in PS since I am much more accustomed to it, and I can still use the drag and drop feature!  

This is my WIP of the outfit in PS... The clothing doesn't quite fit just right yet, but I'll fix that eventually.... 

  But anyway, you get the picture... :)

I will be posting a series of my current projects, and hope to be able to keep you updated on my progress with them.... Thanks so much for looking!!! And I'd love it if you let me know what you think ;)

Something New

Well.... Here is something new....
This is a picture I did today... I was doing a photo shoot with my little brother the other day, and it made me want to experiment with some photos of myself as well! I didn't do much with it... Just put some filters on it, lightened the hair, and fixed up the eyes...

Eyes detail here...


I would be lying if I said I found it surprising that I was on here, putting up a new post at 11:31pm on a Saturday night, like I had planned to. Truthfully I somehow always manage to find something every night without fail to dwindle the seconds, the minutes, the hours, slowly away until at some point my good sense finally gets the best of me, and I can rest knowing that once again I was too weak to hold back... To simply sleep like I was supposed to...
So here I am, posting away with pride on the surface that I had something scarcely worth posting about!

I Didn't Know This Blog Was Visible....

So I had thought that this blog wasn't currently visible to the public... I had originally planned to keep it invisible for awhile (as it was under construction), and since I still wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with it yet... BUT as my wonderful sister-in-law pointed out, it WAS visible to the public! So after thinking about it for a bit, I'm pretty sure I now know what I would like to do with my blog, and am happy with the way it is as of now! So I thought I would add another post to clarify that, for no particular reason, except that I don't have anything better to do right now, and the first post looked lonely... :)
