Still Here and Thriving






"Still Here"

I've come back from a trip and I have decided not to waste anymore time on things that keep me from posting work I've completed. No frills. Simply putting them up.

Fly, Fly, Fly and Morning Ritual


"Fly, Fly, Fly"


"My Morning Ritual"

I am happiest when I sketch wherever I am at. So I'm carrying my sketchbook and pens wherever I go. 
These two lovelies are in my home where I feel at peace and so I had plenty of time to obsessively add details. HahahaHahaHahaAH!

Food and Photoshop Day 9

Photoshop- must practice sub-layers. Snails pace, but I'm motivated!

Food and Photoshop Day 7


Today is day 7. (the drawing is from 2 days ago)
Learning to cook different vegetables because I'm getting a little tired of zucchini. My first time using cauliflower and I liked it. The "caldo de rez" was a treat.  Breakfast was put in containers because I had to be somewhere at lunch time. I'm getting used to eating my food cold because I've been drawing all of my food intake before I eat it up. It's also slowing me down so I can enjoy my food. 

Learned some new tricks on Photoshop, but I'm going to try them on some other sketches. I will continue to draw my food and I'll be a little more selective about which food I put up.

Food and Photoshop Day 2


I learned how to layer and add color to my sketch! 
I now know how to keeping my sketch opaque and color behind the sketch. My explaining the steps may not make any sense to anyone else, but it does to me, and I'm so happy that I'm not spending hours trying to figure out how to do this. A friend is helping me with tips...and I will mention his name later..if he lets me. 

As for the food I'm doing well and not feeling starved. I'm enjoying my cup of fruit every morning. The vegetables, I'm getting a little bored of my preparations. I'll need to look up some recipes.

Food and Photoshop


Two things I'm learning and you'll see my progressions here on the blog. I just spent about 2 hours playing with Photoshop CS6 and I'm so frustrated. And it's almost time for lunch! I'd rather keep playing with Photoshop than eat (but I must, to make life long the changes).
