Yes i am writing again!

Journal Entry: Tue Dec 1, 2009, 8:18 PM


Yes as the title says, i am writing again, its been a long while since i last wrote anything and its like learning to ride a bike all over again, its scary at first, then you feel the confidence rising inside you, and once its done, the feeling of achievement is like a raging river inside of you...

so why is it that i dont feel the satisfaction this time? i feel i am beginning to doubt myself in all of my work, photoshop frustrates me, photography doesnt agree with me, and writing is hard to come by any inspiration these days.

you can probably guess why i wrote that last blog entry, i am feeling very frustrated and doubtful about my art/writing.

Maybe i should stop being so hard on myself... im just not sure anymore, ill work it out somehow!

How do you do such beautiful artwork? I could not draw like that even if my life depended on it! Also, how do you color your pictures? The colors look so pretty and full.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, its really made my day.. (^_^)

Alot of my work could be better, i find that being relaxed and focused is the best way to work, no distractions and a dash of patience, if it doesnt look the way you pictured it the first time, dont throw it away, use it, improve on it...

Colouring the pictures is easy, you just start with your basic bland colour and with photoshop(or your prefered software) you edit the image with tools like saturation/hue and brightness/contrast. its just playing about with things that make it seems so bright.

Also, a little tip, to make the image look a little more full and less flat, try using the Emboss/bevel tool.

Sorry i go on a little too much :) Goodluck with your artwork,im sure you can do what i do, it just takes practice and a little experimentation.

Thanks for the tips! I will try to buy the stuff for them as soon as I earn the money (I just started drawing, and the only things I have to work with currently are paper and pencils).
