A comment from a fellow bubbler ”...I do not understand the process of taking a drawing and running it through a computer …”
This got me thinking…
...so I thought I’d share my thinkings with you
I’ve been drawing and painting for years, but (ever the perfectionist) I have a lot more unfinished works on paper, than I have ones I consider “done, but not overdone”.
I got into photoshop a little while back, and it’s giving me the chance to finish some of these “not quite” images, and to do so in as many different variations as my imagination permits!
They evolve (or get recycled, depending on how you look at it!), and I’ll often go back to a drawing from years back, that I ‘shopped a year or more ago, and suddenly it’s something else altogether.
I’ve uploaded a bunch of “evolutions” of the fruit of my photoshop noodlings to my site if you’d like to see some more… www.pentangled.co.uk

That’s what I like about computers too, the ability to do endless variations.

hi!!i like u,r work heapsi think that art has no boundariz no limts it,s a universal thing it lives in our minds.if there was no people 2 see it what would it be?do animals see art like we do?my point being!!if life on earth was 2 end then another race of beings where 2 colonise the earth would they see it as art?or disgard it as primative self expresion!!-i think all art should be put on CD+DVD coz then it will 4 thousands of years!-this is why i like digital art + storage.i luv artjoe

could not agree more. photoshop is an integral part of the creation of my work also. it all starts out as pens on paper, but I use that as a “base” really. The really fun stuff starts on the screen where the possibilities are endless!!!

I’m glad you find it inspiring – PS is a big adventure, and there’s always more to learn. learnt by 20% books/magazines/tutorials & 80% happy accidents. Enjoy! :o)
