Butterflies for Saturday

Good morning,

It's going to be a beautiful day outside today. Lots of sunshine and warm.

This butterflies picture was just a fun exercise in playing with drop shadows. This effect causes the butterflies to look like they're placed above the design underneath.

It is rather simple, but appealing to the eye.

This would make a great front cover to a card or used as an accessory to stationary.

Each butterfly is the same, but duplicated, colorized, tilted and repositioned to get the effect I wanted.

The fun thing about doing graphic art psp tubes is that you can do so many things with them to achieve any look you wish. You can learn many interesting things by simply putting "free psp tubes tutorials" into your web browser in different search engines to come up with many different tutorials.

I bought an inexpensive hard-cover, spiral notebook at the dollar store just for psp notes. Using little stickies, you can make your own tabs and label each for different categories you want to learn and reuse. You can also jot down websites that point you back to lessons you want to remember or revisit.

I also collect pictures from all sources. I love to keep magazines, shopping catalogues, or take my camera with me on some outings for outside pictures, so I have a plethora of different items from which to draw.

For doing gifs (animation), use your camera to take pictures of one item from different angles. They are useful for creating frame to frame pictures to animate.

Hope your enjoy your day.

See you tomorrow!
