The Beginning-
I first heard about
this project from my computer teacher, Mr. Rogers. I knew I wanted to do it when he said "Digital
Art." Sure, I had never done digital art before then, at least not
seriously. Besides how would I manage something decent with just a mouse and
desktop? I was very tempted to give up after hearing about it before Winter
Break. I did still love art and I wanted to try.
The Drawing Process-
I received about $300
for Christmas and decided straight away to buy a Wacom medium sized drawing
tablet to connect to my desktop. The next question was; What do I draw? It's
always hard finding inspiration... until you look to yourself. I wanted to draw
a girl that represented a lot about me and a bit about others. Hair covers her
eyes because she is shy. Her emotional sadness is hidden by a soft smile. Her
tattoo represents religious freedom and the bracelets are to show
homosexuality. I first drew the base and then cleaned it up before coloring her
with a cover pen and a a spray brush for the background.
Afterthoughts-
Afterwards, I realized
how much practice I'll need to really get good at this digital art thing. I
also should do more background work. I never have drawn background before, it's
a pretty hard task for me. Drawing on real paper with normal media is much
easier than drawing on a tablet with Core Paint Essentials software. I surely
will keep practicing and working hard at art that I love.
