ok so my last post was a month ago. and considering that the hand in is tomorrow i really should have kept this more up to date. but hey blogging was just a habbit i couldnt get into.
in the past month ive been focusing on working in painter, in kind of four different directions really.

one has been learning to do portraits heres my last attempt:
i didn't think it was going all too badly untill soemone told me it looked a lot like me... this freaked me out and ive not plucked up the will to continue this peice! i went on to other work.

like the composition work, all i wanted was to see if i could work out just a man standing around looking moody. and something that would look profesional. i... think that last one was too much to ask for! but here it is anyway:



im not all that impressed with my ability to work in painter, but its a defineate improvment. so at least its all going in the right direction. lastly i was seeing how i could use painter as a design tool. i was using a kind of a paper doll like method to layer clothing... you draw a tshirt and see what it looks like in different combinations with other clothes. its not much but this kinda thing could be used with all kinds of sketches and doodles and i think would save a whole lot of time designing and redrawing things (as i inevitably do!)
this is one of the images produced from this kind of design work:

and thats it for now... wish me luck with my hand in, i guess i will be continueing this blog next project.
