Last night I was trying to think of an idea, or some inspiration for a new drawing, just before bedtime, my husband said blue pools, but i have idea what the context was lol

That was enough for me, i thought immediately of blue eyes and a girl submerged in blue pools of water…... here she is ;)

    I love how you’re showing us the ‘before’ and ‘after’... it helps me to get my head around your creative process! I still have so much to learn in Photoshop… I have no idea how to add colour in that way :o)

    I love this one for it’s serene quality – the blue is sooooo relaxing and I can feel myself bobbing about in the water there! Yep, gotta love the boobs… it’s the detail like that that you add that really makes a piece even more special!! x

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    lol, thank you Kaz…you know we often look at boobs, and say to each other….nup, they can’t be real….especially when a person’s laying down like this, and they are uhummm well…sorta floating and upright…like little balloons….it’s soo funny…. :)

    My photoshop journey was purely incidental, and now very intuitive….i haven’t talked to anyone about how i do it, it was just something that suddenly clicked…and now i’m really really enjoying exploring with it ;)

    I think anyone can do it, it’s just playing around, being patient and practicing for fun with it.. I’d love to see what you could do if you spent some time drawing and playing around with it too :) xxx

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    oops, what i meant was, i haven’t had much tuition with photoshop, just playing around taught me stuff :) xxx
