Wishing It Was Spring

After catching the flu and then ending up pneumonia, it has been a rough two weeks… and at this point I just want to be well and for the cold/flu season to be over and for spring to be here… don’t have the energy to do much actual work around the house so yesterday I played around with the battle image and today I just wanted to playing around doodling and this is what came out of it…

Figured if I actually posted it on the NAPP forum boards and here as a project I might actually manage to follow through and finish it so here goes

Here is after spending some more time on the blossoms… I’m planning on putting two more butterflies on the lower half… Colors in the corner are swatches I’m using for the cherry blossoms…

Bit of Playing

It has been a long time since I’ve posted anything on here… I’ve been trying to keep up with the photo a day and with everything else going on which in January and February means wrestling tournaments… The past two weeks I was forced to change pace. I managed to catch the flu which my son brought home from school and then about a week later ended up with pneumonia which I’m still recovering from. Today was the first day I’ve manged to do much and I decided to sit down and play a bit in photoshop. I haven’t done a NAPP battle in a while so I did the 105th battle. NAPP is the National Association of Photoshop Professionals and each week an image is posted and people “photoshop” it to create an image.

Here is this weeks starting image

And below is what I did with it…

It was fun to play around a bit…

Went back and fixed a couple things like the shadow for the paint brush I had forgotten to add and I didn’t like the texture of the yellow paint above so here is an updated image.

Doodle from Start to Finish

This past fall I joined some other members on the  NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) board in doing a doodle from start to finish. This blog was one of my oringal blogs on mySpace and I’m now posting it here… I haven’t worked on it since Sept…

Here is the starting doodle… it is all via imagination… I have recently watched Memoirs of the Geshia so it was an influence… movie wasn’t bad as a movie but the book was much better…

Filled out a bit of the color in the second one and that was the status as of 31 July.

Snapshot 3 is from 1 August.

Worked a bit more on the bridge on the right and the water… still playing around with different brushes etc trying to get textures and tones I want.
