So an Update

Well I know I haven't been that much on here for the past few weeks and like I said before Uni is taking a lot of time up so I am going to say this. I know we all have our own personal things happening in the outside world and  at time those things end up taking over everything. I am not worried if you can not find time to post some thing ever week. This for me is meant to be fun and enjoyable and if you need to take time away from this that fine.

So on a brighter note Here is a some thing I have done in Illustrator.

was going to use this for something but ended up deciding not to use it. but still looks cool

So here we are again another week come and pass. Here we have an image that was created early on in the week (top) which I have just finished sorting out and creating the other image (bottom)

How I Create

I have always enjoyed drawing things out first then adding the basic colours to it. Taking it then into photoshop and adding more details or even just cleaning the the image up.

Well here you have one drawing that i did just that to. Started off drawing the basic shapes then added form to it. After I was happy with the way it looked I outlined it and added colour. The pens I used to do this are the Pro Marker pens and they are some of the best pen I have ever used for colouring stuff in. You add the first layer of colour on it and let that dry then you just add another and it is the best way to create depth and shadows on something that you create. That is really all I did with this drawing even after I scaned it in, I didn't have to do that much to it. All that is needed to be done is create the effect of a energy ball behind him and thats it really.

Sue Is Snap-Happy

A week comes round so fast when you have things to do. I thought I would show some photography that I have been doing recently, mostly because I do consider photography to be included as 'art'. I like the idea of capturing a moment, and for that moment to be shared, to allow people to share. Much like my standard art, I try to be a little bit unusual with photography, and get genuinely excited to try techniques I haven't tried before.



Photography is the one branch of art, where I feel comfortable editing on Photoshop. I like that I can enhance the colours and make the picture seem more 'alive'. The image above, is of a path near my house. I had the thought in my head a few days prior to taking the photo, of shooting with the camera placed on the ground, rather than me holding it. I like the way that it changes the perspective, of what a person would normally see.


The image above shows how colours can be edited to make the image 'stand out'. Again, just a few minutes tinkering with colour balance and brightness levels, and it makes an impact. And as much as editing can clean a photo up, a good photographer can create a beautiful image without an expensive camera or software. This is something I am still working on, but with practice my skills will improve. Which is all everyone should wish to do, improve their own skills, to be better at what they want to do. Both these photographs were taken over the last few days, as I wanted to do something, that shows a bit of variety. :)

Hope you all have a good week, and I'll speak to you soon.
