Digitals 2 - Still silly
I am still doing some real drawing. Well, real drawing is still what I spend a lot of time thinking about, when I'm at baby groups and walking around pretending to be normal. I am pleased with how quickly I can do these though. Time and energy pretty comprehensively compromised these days.
Hi Max, I'm using Painter not photoshop. I think I started with digital watercolour, did stuff I can't remember, pushed it around a little bit with 'distorto' and used some 'real watercolour' at the end. I am making it up as I go along.
That is one magnifico Simon Cowell, down to the stubble, for cracks sake. Is there a digital app for stubble? If not, you've invented it. do you think you portrayed him...a little too nice. maybe its Simon looking at his mummy?
You would draw a lovely Mrs. Cowell; down her stubble.
thanks Thomas. It wasn't supposed to be too nice. I don't hate Cowell specifically as much as some do, but he is grotesque in his way. Perhaps I am too Cowell neutral to be either fangirl flattering or hatred monsterfying.
Here is a humble offering of pictures and punchy wordlets. I am a mother of one little girl. There is no more wordlumber, no more sitting on the hill contemplating, a lot more stepping on lego. I still think I'm quite good at drawing though

Oh yeah and on that one, I used some filters which I also can't remember the names of. Are they called filters? Filters? Effects?
Very cool, Chloe!

Is there a digital app for stubble? If not, you've invented it.

Well, took a second look, and I don't think its too nice. Just came away with that impression at first.
There is a mindblowing energy in your work. I don´t know how you do it ! Amazing !!!!
Saskia, thank you. Your work is incredible. If I wasn't looking after a baby all day, I'd be studying it!
lovely portraits. i love Blur! :)
It can't work in reality, that is exactly what I suppose.
