Drawing Project #1: Part... um...
4 I think. Or 5. Let's call it 4.
This one was a bit self initiated. Meaning the picture I worked on this time wasn't submitted to me. Rather it is one that Jared painted recently that I really liked the look of and I thought it would look good in the latest style I've been fiddling with.
Here's the original:
Now on to mine:
My first version. Not bad but a bit "soft" in my opinion.
The second version is merely a modification of the first. I added a black inside stroke to each of the layers. I felt that although it goes against actual "cut-paper", it hardened up the edges and made it look better. But it still wasn't quite "all it could be".
Which led me to make this one, the one I'm happiest with. As you can see I took out my background and inserted Jared's original background in its place.
What Jared had to say about these amused me deeply:

Now THAT's a compliment!

That Jared...He's like an insane GENIUS!
This only goes to show that I need to either a)learn how to use Photoshop and similar "magic" programs or b)trick more people into collaborating with me that actually know what they're doing. Collin, watch your back. You know what I'm after. :P

(Btw, the 2nd one is still my favorite.)
Andy K: True. It's more like what it would look like if I actually made it from paper. Although the others fit the "comic" feel a bit better.
Ottoblotto: Yeah, but I kinda like the chaotic feel of the original background and I just couldn't capture that feel with vector layers. At least not in the time I was allowing myself for this. As for what I'll come up with now that I'm brainless... probably a lot of drool inspired works.
Heather: Aww. Thanks babe :) Sometimes I look at stuff I've done and think, "I made that?" and occasionally it's even in the good way.
Jared: If you ever want to work on something together, just let me know. The same goes for teaching you. While I may not be able to do a very good job of it from across the ocean, I know of quite a few decent, free, tutorial sites that you can explore for lessons and inspiration. There's still a lot more that I would like to learn myself.
Debra: Sure! Give it a shot and then let me see it. I'd like to see what you come up with.
Tony: I guess there just aren't enough parts. *ba-dum-bum* And thanks!
