I'm still here

I had decided to withdraw from my course as I've so many other interests wanting attention, but decided I would at least complete this Level qualification. Having been inactive for three weeks in doing course work I had to spend a weekend frantically trying to catch up. So I've been doing more drawing, painting and development work and fiddling around with Photoshop.
Here is some of the work
polar bear in soft pastel

ink drawing cut out

Moved on to Photoshop trying some repeat patterns, brush making and messing about with colours.



When I had finally sorted in my head what my 3 final project designs were to be I spent most of today making them into repeat half-drop patterns, using the healing tools on PS to blend in and finally getting them into A1 size. My next step is to take them to college tomorrow and have all 3 printed out. When that's done I'll try to take photos to post on here.

As well as doing the wallpaper project we're also having a Photoshop module with 2 hours tuition a week. I have to say it's doing my head in! The speed of delivery is so quick, I find it difficult to get my brain in place to take it in. No sooner have we been shown one application, we're off to something else before having a proper opportunity to play or make notes to remind us of what we did. I took some screen shots as we were progressing but looking at them they seem meaningless to me. I'll have to try to remember what we did and practice at home for the rest of the week so at least I feel more comfortable with the applications. For this PS project we have to design 4 floral patterns and place them on a garment, then we can have the designs digitally printed on fabric. Ha! can't wait to see how that one goes.
