I'm a brand new author! My first published writing will appear in a few months. I'll post when it's out.
Learning curve
Falling Leaves
I'd been doing loose sketches of kids, and decided to incorporate a few of them into a fall raking scene. Trying for a playful look, I used photos of leaves and oversized them, a photo of a fence, and "spherized" it in Photoshop. I learned to mask and use a few filters. (I'm finally getting used to my new Wacom tablet.) The children and tree are painted in watercolors. I also painted the background, but decided on photos instead.
Learning
Dress-up girls
I'm playing with my art. Here's my first try. I want to move towards a style geared to younger kids; less realistic, more fun, playful in perspective and sizing.
The original sketch had a dog, a baby, another kid and a bed, but this is what I ended up with.
I'm doing the figures in watercolor, and dropping in
and
manipulating photographs in Photoshop for many of the objects and clothing.
I don't know where it will go, but feedback is welcome.
