Tag: Scans Of My Drawings

With my local Art Trail, and other arty and crafty things I have been doing, it’s been very nice. I have learnt a lot about digital art, and using watercolour paint, and gouache paint.

The first project was making a card for my best friend in the US, and cards for an actor she was going to see in a play. I scanned backing papers I purchased, which is an ongoing job, and purchased some digital papers, and images.

Though I forgot to take a picture of my friends card, I do have some of the digital work I used to make the card.

Then was my dad’s birthday, I had a design I had made in my folder, and I wanted to make this for my dad for ages. So I scanned the picture onto my computer, and used my graphics program to make a digital hand drawn version, following the lines, and adding little details from digital pictures I purchased. I hope to be able to make my own digital images, so I do not have to use someone else’s. I also made a card from the dog, which I purchased the backing papers, and picture of a Chinese Crested powder puff, which is the breed my dog is. He thoroughly loved them.

My latest is for the local Art Trail, which is about the Wonder in Art And Science. I thought about this a lot, and came up with the idea of doing The Northern Lights, and Penicillin. I decided I wanted to make digital and water colour versions of the pictures, as I wanted to show how doing art on the computer can be a Wonder too.

Lastly. I used the left over paint from the Art Trail pictures to make these two pictures, which my mum thoroughly loves. They were mainly made from red, yellow, and pinks mixed together with other paints, and the three colours combined together.
