Messing around with photoshop, and a little with a new brushpen I ordered. I've still got a lot of wiggle on my brush lines. Anyone with any tips for photoshop or brush pen, or who can recommend a brush pen with a finer tip, please come forward.
Sorry I've been gone from the scanner so long. I've been doing some stuff. Like graduating!
I'm also working as an intern at a children's book company here in Montreal. It's unpaid, so if any of you know a sweet weekend or evening gig for me, please let me know!
In other news, my big sketchbook is finished and I'm tired of carrying a big sketchbook around. How do people like Moleskines around here? Do they live up to their reputation? Can they take a little abuse?
Some people have been asking me some questions about how that last watercolour went down. The answer is, of course, swearing and prayer. In any case, I also started with an underpainting. Nobody told me to do that, so I'm not sure it's going to work every time, but I sure hope it works this time because it's already done!
Sorry these pictures are sucky - watercolour is pretty unphotogenic.
Recently I've been trying to get back into watercolours. At first I chose the wrong colours I think. I was lucky because my co-workers know a lot more than me about painting and kind of steered me back on course.
Watercolours is kind of difficult but I'm so excited by all the colours that I don't feel so discouraged most of the time. I mess up a lot though. Like, 50% of the time I make something that is completely unusable.
It's kind of fun sometimes to do something you don't know how to do, I guess.
