last night I Had a dream that I woke up and the rain they predicted for this weekend acutally turned out to be snow... well dreams don't always come true and this christmas eve eve is rainy and sad. my plan was to stick close to home today, do some home type things (laundry, cleaning, etc) but its always nicer to do that when you see sun outside. So I am following my plan - doing laundry and workign on my adobe illustrator skills. I have posted below a sketch of a girl I drew quickly and then used as a basis for my photos shop learning. She is not that good but she was helpful in my pen tool practice. I am about to put in the china girl I drew and work on her. Hailey had on her list a picture of a china girl for christmas so if I can get it right I am going to print it out and frame it up for her.
Christmas is supposed to be cold and snowy and thanks in part to global warming this christmas is going to be warm and rainy. If wanted Christmas's like this I would live in the south or the pacific northwest.
i am trying to learn how to use adobe illustrator so I can take the images of the girls I draw and get them digital... its slow going but here is the first girl I am trying to work with - this is just my drawing scanned in.
on the left is a picture i painted with watercolor colored pencils. On the right is my 4 year old nieces copy of that drawing. She didn't finish because she got mad when the arms she made weren't exactly the same as mine. I am more impressed that she got as far as she did - CONSIDERING SHE IS FOUR.
