I thought I should pay a visit to this blog as my mom reminded me that I had written months ago that I would be posting more often and I haven't kept that promise. Shame on me. *waves at mom* So, here is a post. Since I am creating a website about elephants, I am still drawing them a lot. Well, I can't say a lot as it has been rare for me to have a pencil in my hand this month. I did, however, manage to draw something last night that I have worked on a bit more today. I have also been messing around with Photoshop lately and I am beginning to feel like I'm finally mastering its intricacies (yeah right). Well, maybe not mastering it, but getting more of a feel for how it works. There is so much a person can do with Photoshop and the creative possibilities are endless. Too bad it's such an expensive program. Anyway, what I did to achieve this effect was rather simple. I just laid down a layer of brush worked stars and then reduced the opacity of my drawing and laid it over the layer of stars. I like how it created an interesting (well, kind of starry, I guess;)) texture and gave the drawing a smidgen of color. Photoshop is way too much fun!
Oh, and here's the original drawing as well.
