School Holidays have hit. I’m pretty busy with work.
I finally got my logo finished for work. I completely re-worked it in illustrator, with only very basic knowledge. Thus i’m pretty proud.
Sadly I can’t show you. But it and the camo tile i created are now implemented in/on our new banner and business cards! Happy feeling. Now I have to re-do all the website graphics.
Mind you most of my knowledge is based on learning I did in school over 12 years ago. Other than what I re-learned in my Digital art class at TAFE (Photoshop/Illustrator).
To those people who post tutorials online, either picture post of video, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
I have been trying to work on a design for my dad for his birthday. Though I realise now i’m not going to get it to him before his b’day because I lost ALL sense of time – I will also be in Japan then too. On the off chance he stumbles upon my blog, I am going to refrain from any spoilers. I can tell you that my art idea does seem sound based on information I have collected 😀
Aside from that I have been working on some fan art. I have a sneak peek for you:
It’s a mixup of large proportions!
You can now see a little of how I work.
First I start with the skeletons, then I draw the flesh, then I draw the details. Everything is on its own separate layer in PS. Important or details i’m not sure of go on their own layers too. I like to use different colours so I’m less likely to get things mixed up. It also means I can see which things are overlapping etc without confusing shapes. I love layers. I’ve had over 150 layers before. Thank-god for groups though!
Last week my husband and I went up the hill to for work, as an activity for a high school camp. The same high school I went to. It’s still really weird being on the other side of the fence, being with some of the very same teachers 9 years later! My favourite teacher was there this year – my art and digital art teacher. He’s a rad dude.
While I was up I took with me my sketch book as well as a crochet needle and wool.
Yes. Crochet. I plan on making my daughter a viking beanie. Only that tutorials are harder because there are English and American crochet terms. I had a lot of trouble and didn’t get very far. I’ll post pic later when it doesn’t look like a tangled scrap hahah!
But I did draw these:
Do pardon, I had to use my phone camera!
Eye can see you…
I drew these looking at a reference sheet by Moni158. She is brilliant. I discovered her by random and have been hooked on her art ever since. It’s so vibrant and awesome. And delicious. I recommend you go take a look at her gallery. If you love Attack on Titan you’ll love her stuff.
Also trying to practice with my Copic marker.
You can see them evolve as I get into it…
“The official pimp T.O.P”
Started adding lines.
I’m big into K-pop at the moment. Much to the horror of half of my family members. Bigbang features heavily as my 3 year old son really digs it too. Though he’s constantly asking for G-Dragon.
Here’s something I prepared earlier!
GD – Fantastic Baby/Monster mix
I have good days and bad days. Though most days I end up doing nothing because I want to do everything T_T
I’M FREAKING GOING TO JAPAN IN JUST OVER A MONTH. ERMAGHERD!!! Im going to buy THINGS and STUFF!! Pity my Japanese has gotten rusty since I had to drop my lessons to actually afford to save money to go to Japan (what a sad twist of fate)
