landscape 6

tanuki (Jan 18, 2011)

I had thought about straightening the horizon, but I think that's part of the charm of the original photo. My screen is badly in need of recalibrating because I can't see the subtle changes in color at all when I'm blending but they're very obvious on my other screen. I'm using the eyedropper in photoshop on the original photo to find the rgb numbers, because this kind of sky with color shifts is always a mystery to me. This is also the first time I've ever used the rgb color chooser in lascaux, which I just recently discovered. I was suppose to do 4 drawings today, but I won't even finish this one because I was testing something that wasn't working out.

are you on assigmnent or something.. why do you say you were "supposed" to do four pictures..?

tanuki (Jan 19, 2011)

I'm just trying to do one landscape and one portrait a day just to do it, but I got behind last week from a couple of days where most of my free time was taken up by other things and I never fully caught up.

I can't figure out how to use the appelets

Purplemartin (edited Jan 18, 2011)

The appelets are too complex. I go to the directions and it doesn't make sense. Like how do I resize the parameters, I pressed one button and do not know how to restart so been stuck with it. I thought Id like computer art but these appelets are too complex and made for engineering minds. I need a website that will explain them directly and the basics. I am middle aged and technologically disadvantaged. Most of my drawings I was just guessing which buttons do what, that's crap, why can't we KNO...

All these darn hippies would be a lot easier to draw if they got a haircut. I guess his name is Avi, because I sure hope it isn't Celia.

is this your mom?

tanuki (edited Jan 12, 2011)

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, unless you're asking if that's a photo of my parents? No, it's just a recently taken random photo I found.

I might do something like draw one landscape a day. This one isn't based on anything, I was just playing with color and the tools.

Lets do it then, starting from now. I'm pretty sure I wont succeed though.

We don't keep score here in the US anymore, we wouldn't want anyone to experience not being a winner. Just show up and get a participation trophy! Hell, look at the Nobel Peace Prize. http://www.cafepress.com/+lol_nobel_mini_button

Flubbles (edited Jan 11, 2011)

I started my landscape, and 25 minutes in my computer has froze and I cant get rid of the egg timer. Shitty bollocks wank stain.
Got rid of the page I was working on and restored my session with firefox, and luckily I saved the drawing. I'll have to finish it tomorrow now I've lost the enthusiasm.

Suntan (edited Jan 12, 2011)

Really nice rainy, Spring day, tanuki. :)
I thought you said 15 minutes, Flub, and already you're up to 25! ;p Let's see it.

normally I use a 1px, 255 opacity, 255 flow brush with blending off an jtablet on, but I thought I'd try a bigger brush with blending on for at least part of it and opacity and flow changing throughout. This is the drawing for yesterday, because yesterday all I did was finish the drawing from the day before.

Her eyes kept giving me a hard time, as well as other areas. I think I redrew her chin several times.

highly ethnic faces tend to have proportions different from the average ideal that people are taught to draw, and I had a hard time with the lower half of her face still not looking right in several ways.

kinda looks like one of my Athabaskan friends from Alaska. Whats the spot on her head?

tanuki (edited Dec 29, 2010)

I don't know, but it's either something cultural or it's covering something on her face. I included it because I didn't have a specific reason to omit it.

TheCrimsonKing (Jan 1, 2011)

"highly ethnic" :)

tanuki (edited Jan 2, 2011)

I'm not really sure how correct that is, and it might not be the best way to put it, but I really don't know of another way to say it. It's basically just what I was taught refers to people with highly distinct features common to a relatively isolated population. It's as opposed to homogenized faces common to americans and other populations of mixed ancestry where you can hardly tell where someone's family is from just by looking at them. My own background going back just 5 generations includes at least 5 different countries and possibly multiple continents, so no one can tell where my family is from just by looking.

Do Padmooks coming out of a rehab.

Axil62 (Dec 23, 2010)

I can't, the cartoon panel has been interrupted by tanuki. I'm afraid it's....over.

I'm honored to be missed. Cuuute. I didn't know I was inside a chimney, no wonder I've been wheezing! Were you a little bored last night?
