Remember that digital drawing of a dragonfly I drew last semester? Well it turned out pretty nice, because I added a different touch to it. I put the drawing in layers. An idea I had for quite some time and never had a project I could use it on. Since I have sooo much STUFF being the semi-hoarder than I am and not enough closet space, I decided to sell it on Etsy. The pictures don’t really show very well the depth the drawing has since it is layered. The top layer is the outlines, the middle is the color, and the back is the background. The glass in the frame is not hugging the image so it makes it even better. I’m still proud of this project, and hoping to find it a home! It will be up on Etsy for the next few months.
So my final full-time semester has started and I’ve been so busy with class projects! I’m taking 4 studio class plus Honors in Art which pertains to my BFA show. I’m really enjoying digital illustration. Although I’m very familiar with photoshop, I started using a wacom tablet to draw, and it’s amazing! I’ve uploaded a small preview of what the dragon fly looks like so far. That’s basically our project, we have to pick 2 insects and draw them in 2 different styles. The next one I will probably do a cartoon style. I’m really having so much fun with the drawing tablet, I have to get myself one – and a mac computer along with it!
