Hi Amber fenix here most people know my as Chimerastone.
ReplyDeleteYou have distinctive drawing style in your work. I have tried painting/colouring directly on the computer but find the process difficult.
Torn Feather #3b has lighter, subtle feel and looks pastels.
Thanks for your advice.
aloha Amber Fenix - ChimeraStone - this is done with a pen and tablet. the "pen" is similar to an actual pen. so it's a lot easier to draw with than a mouse. the tablet i'm using is a step up too in that it's actually a monitor i can draw directly on with the pen, altho it's all digital. it's much more like drawing with an actual pen and paper - in this case a pen and glass as the monitor is glass.
ReplyDeletethe difference between these too is that the first one is all drawing/painting. when that was finished i used something like a filter which is a program that alters an image in specific ways. i did that in Corel Painter Essentials 4 and i did the original drawing/painting in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6. the pen/tablet i'm using is a Wacom Cintiq.
i hope some of the suggestions i made helped - thanks for stopping by and commenting. - aloha Wrick
Didn't realised you chose to reply on your blog rather than e-mail.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you found out nervousness.org is closed down, the domain is expired. Which is shame as I still want to exchange art with other people there and promised to swap some atcs with someone. Not to worry I can contact them through e-mail or in blogger.
In the process is getting ready to add items to the Etsy shop even though felt bullied into hurrying up. Not that easy even on E-bay it takes time to write information about the product and work out a price.
I have tried digital painting using a stylus and graphic tablet in Paintshop Pro. The software is awkward to used, can't get the blending. Painter and Photoshop is expensive, the Elements lack the features from the full program. Oh Well. As far as I'm concern there are no barriers except the ones we place on ourselves and hope to overcome this because I worry too much.
aloha ChimeraStone - i'm just behind on getting to emails.
ReplyDeleteyes, i saw that the domain had expired for nervousness. i believe Nness is working on it to get it back up. the last i heard was that it might be a few days yet.
yes, again - it takes me a while to get things right on places like Etsy and other places where it's critical because of the selling aspect to be clear so that people know what to expect. i'd rather get it right than to rush it tho. even tho i know people can really want to buy something and if it's not available they may loose interest.
i look at digital tools and software/programs as something i have to learn about and what i can and can not do with them - and then work within those limitations as they exist. each one is different, yet like traditional materials each has advantages and is unique in some way. so i set out to see what i can do within those limitations. that's what makes the work using that particular program and/or hardware unique. it's not going to look like something else i do tho, so i have to accept that as part of the equation.
working with what ever materials i choose to use, i do what i can do with them. that way it doesnt really matter what i'm using - a full version program or a lite program - or pen and paper or acylics and canvas - or even a stick in sand on the beach. some materials and programs offer more options but more options is not necessarily what makes a work good.
no matter what materials i use, the more i use them the better i become at knowing and pushing the boundary properties that belong to that material or program. i think those boundaries are where we often find our richest work. for me the key is to keep at a material or program long enough to develop some of this knowledge - which for me comes with experience and doing it a lot. for me too, that doing and exploring is a lot of what is fun about new materials as well as old ones i'm familiar with - either way i explore - and of course i aim at having fun doing that too.
