Oh I’ve always loved art. As you can see from the photo where I was trying a bit of traditional calligraphy in China. It was a unique opportunity to try something new.
Digital Pencil Poised to Go
So it made perfect sense to bring myself right up to date with a graphics package. Painting with a finger is not a new concept for me. I still have a painting I created with a single digit for an ‘O’ Level.
New Technology
However it’s not so easy on the finger joints this days. Using the same technique in a computer drawing package made my hands ache.
The images created for “A Song & a Tattoo are probably testament to this so I treated myself to a digital pencil.
The link below opens the document with my first go at creating a e- book using a digital pencil to complete the drawings.
I have been messing about with this & some simple animations which hopefully will improve with use. Unfortunately the animation didn’t transfer over so might need to explore a different format.
Love a bit of Tech
I love tech as it is always changing & just as I get the hang of one method
For the minute though here is my first attempt at animation which is very raw so try not to judge too harshly! Having learnt enough to make the image jump about a bit there is much room for improvement.
Whilst I am sure that the animators of Disney & Pixar will sleep easy every journey has to start somewhere so watch out for progress reports.
