changing things up

been working on some promotional material and trying to approach things a little differently. im not used to doing to much stuff digitally so i thought i would take a crack at it. i wanted to be able to reproduce it for things and since my scanner is so small i decided that doing it on the computer would eliminate some problems.

drawatron said...: yep all photoshop, drawn and painted in photoshop. thanks for the compliment.; 10:32 PM
Cat Scott said...: wow, you drew that in Photoshop too? that's really good. Looks like you have the hang of that. Another benefit: you don't have to bake paintings in the oven if you use Photoshop :); 3:02 PM

Constantly compare yourself to other artists.
Talk to your family about what you do and expect them to cheer you on.
Base the success of your entire career on one project.
Stick with what you know.
Undervalue your expertise
Let money dictate what you do.
Bow to Societal Pressures.
Only do work that your family would love.
Do whatever the client/customer/gallery owner/patron/investor asks.
Set unachievable/overwhelming goals. To be accomplished by tomorrow.

thank you, Starbuck!

Try to do the Illustration Academy assignments, or at least the idea-making and thumbnail part of it. Experiment, try something new, push yourself. Also use this time to catch up on old projects if you want!
