It wasn't particularly difficult nor did it take very long. I'm liking the result and already have Ideas of how I can use some of these techniques for other projects.

Dahlia
I a photoshop sort of mood so flicked through some magazines and had a go at merging textures and photos. All the files for the tutorial were on the CD but being me I couldn't be bothered to go upstairs and find it. So I used Photographs from the net instead and textures from media militia.

Sunset
I took this photograph yesterday evening just as the sun was setting. I was in my pjs and glanced out the the window and ran for the camera. Such a lovely cloudscape with amazing colours :-).
I sorted the light levels in photoshop but other than that it's as it was... breathtaking.
A sight like this demonstrates the beauty that is around us a unique sight temporary unless the moment is captured by an artist.

Hands
Look at the hand! Look at the hand!
The portraits not perfect but I'm quite pleased with the hand which I can proudly say looks quite hand like! That's opposed to the mangled messes which normally result in me drawing hands!
I'm not saying it's perfect (I know its not) but I could pick apart a picture until I can longer see the good bits. I'm not going to do that any more than I already have. :-)

Abs
Sadly, this in no way a self portrait. However, I did enjoy drawing this picture.
I used a photograph from a magazine called Attitude as inspiration. The photograph was of a full length model but I chose to focus only on one element of the photo. Drawing only on the abdominal section allowed me to play around with shading.
Also, drawing only this part of the model enabled me to completely avoid drawing hands! Maybe that's what I should focus on next HANDS!!! I'm pretty certain if I can draw them I'll pretty much be able to draw anything. Need to get practising though because the ones I produce at the moment look like they belong to someone who's had an accident involving their hands being mangled in machinery.

Playing With Photoshop
Went for a lovely walk today and took some photos; most of them of flowers but a few of paths and disused roads. It was beautifully sunny and bright a most enjoyable wander.
When I got home I played around on Photoshop. I wanted to make a bright looking image of a disused road that leads to an old quarry look darker... as though it were taken at night. I think I managed.

representing
A lot of people ask what the symbols in my artwork represent. Sometimes they don't really represent anything but just kind of grew organically as I drew them; sometimes they represent an idea or an animal , and sometimes they represent people, as in this piece if artwork.
When drawing this I'm representing a situation and was very focused throughout the whole process. I definitely feel that expressing myself artistically kind of gets those emotions and thoughts out of me so I can leave them behind and move on.
