Hello readers, It has been a bit since I have updated the blog, which is completely my bad. In terms of progress, I have had difficulties. For a long while, the part I was most excited about regarding the Fellows was the art and design piece. I have done digital art, pencil art, and page design before, although not on InDesign. But in trying to draw, I have found that I am not as capable as I may have hoped. I have had difficulty in blending, taking advantage of all of photoshops abilities, in textures...These past months I have been trying to get better with art in general and have been watching youtube, following tutorials, tryin to get better, because so far, I am worried that anything I do will be too stylized, bland, or misrepresentative. I'm still trying, though. The top image is an example of a more serious attempt, although I find the position too statue-esque. I found that for all the time I spent trying to study how muscles would work, I wasn't able to convey it very well, which is something I've been trying to do better. I also have recently discovered texture brushes, which I hope to utilize to make skin more accurate. The lower image was a very quickly done almost caricature of the dinosaur I did for fun. Because I use the same colors for the initial drawing, and the little drawings take approximately 10 minutes, max, I have been doing them as a break and for each.
