Remembering that valentines day we ditched work to play in the snow. Wish it was snowing today.

So I made a Photoshop filter last night...
So I made this Soft Pencil Rendering Filter in Filter Forge last night. I started playing around with compositing it into photoshop, and I ended up with this:
Sometimes it's just fun to screw around in Photoshop. The ink drops are from a while ago, I've been using the left overs from a series Meg and I shot for fun. I've got to say isolating semi translucent objects is a pain.

Erodible Tips in CS6
I really like the new erodible tips in PS CS6. Drawing directly in the computer hadn't been something I'd particularly enjoyed, I never really liked drawing in Photoshop, Painter, or Manga Studio. Sketchbook pro was ok, but the brushes were very limited. I know some people who thrive on drawing in the computer - for me, this might be the game changer.
I doodled this in less than a half hour. This isn't a great drawing by any stretch of the imagination, but I think the technique looks somewhere between charcoal and ink wash, without needing elaborate custom brushes.
I just woke up when I drew this - so hands and feet were out of the question. I don't draw feet before I've had my morning coffee. I think this monkey needs his morning coffee too...

Play
Damnit, I was sick yesterday. I wanted to work on a more substantial illustration this weekend for IF but it just wasn't possible. I hate wasting weekend days being sick.
So, feeling a little better today, I decided to play around with some color pallets and textures I'd made /acquired. No stress, just playing around. I made the geometric head thing first, didn't like it so much - so I made the girl.

Return Fire

For Illustration Friday: return. I started by writing a list of phrases that dealt with return/reciprocation last night. This image just got stuck in my head.
Detail:
One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.
