Yesterday, I mentioned that I was having problems posting as my computer was doing something really crazy. I guess it was looking for something, but couldn't find it. The hour glass would not leave, so the computer just stayed in that searching mode.
I tried posting 3 times before I got my small post up.
My dear hubby has been working on my computer since I got up at almost 4 am.
So my post today is very simple. Saturday and Sunday are my days to get my artwork for the next week together. Therefore, I am very behind. I also do not know what I have available to me on my computer yet.
I spent the day drawing by hand. Since I sketch "in pencil", it does not scan well. Maybe I can try taking some photos of a few of them and posting that way.
On the flowers above, the initial flower is a kaleidoscope of some basic black lines I drew as vectors and converted to raster. I did selections-eclipse-to fill in the colors. Each color was done on a different layer. One way I like to get the color inside the flower where I want it is to just use the smudge tool to work it to the edges. Anything outside the borders can be PUSHED back inside the borders.
I always use a white background when doing this to make sure the colors are where they should be and there's no messiness outside my drawings. Then I added drop shadows on all. Each drop shadow was a different color, but you mainly see it only on the large flower.
Before I merge everything, I delete the white layer; and then merge visible. Turn it into a jpg, and it's finished.
I hope your Saturday was good. It is pretty here today.
See you tomorrow!
