My flowers are incredibly simple to make. I place a small spot of color on the page and push it around until I get it looking like a flower. Perhaps because it is so easy is why I struggle to see them as being as amazing as everyone else seems to see them.
Candles are another easy thing for me to do digital.
I love doing digital landscapes. They feel like I can just step into the image and enjoy the scene. I think I do okay with them.
Digital flowers are relaxing to draw. I feel like I got this one 3d. My self care todo list often gets less than half done because I am terrible at taking care of myself…but I have Art on there as I see doing something artsy every day as a form of self care. This was Saturday’s art. Do you think that art is self care? Why or why not?
I am seriously craving the idea of pulling out my watercolors…but for now…couple of digital pieces this week
Title: swampy
Was working on formatting a children’s book about mermaids and it made me want to do art…
Ok…I finally got around to attempting it with my Laptop. I have worked on it with my desktop and I love it. It plug and played perfectly with my windows pc. It didn’t really need the driver to be downloaded, but I did just to be sure there would be no hiccups. My laptop is running Linux. I actually prefer Linux but there is so much I cannot do without windows due to compatibility of my favorite programs. I have found freeware that covers much of what I do, but there are a couple of programs (Master PDF Editor being the most important) that I cannot do without. (Master PDF Editor is available on Linux but I bought the license for windows when I was unable to run Linux for a time and don’t have the ability to buy it again right now.) My poor laptop is not a high end thing. I mostly use it when I have to travel and cannot bear to be away from accessing my files. The tablet’s driver is available for MAC or Windows only. So it does not have available drivers for my Laptop. It still plug and played. It did however freeze up while I was working about 8 times. That was slightly annoying. I believe that I will keep using the windows pc for it.
I really do enjoy the lovely nature of this tablet. I do better art with the fine control of a pen. I hope to post more soon.
A digital flower from my phone as I am still trying to recover from my cold. Enjoy.
This is the piece that caused me all the emotional drama earlier. I was trying to show a caterpillar with a transformation of a butterfly attached. The feedback is that it looks like the butterfly is pooping. Yes. yes, it does. And now that will forever be what the transformation is. SHIT. Thanks.
However I made myself attempt another piece because I was honestly ready to delete the piece, the program and all. I needed to make myself work past the hurt and the disgust with what I had created to try to figure out creation again.
