I wouldn’t say I am artistic.. but I would say.. “I enjoy trying”
I can’t draw with a pencil, I would love to be able to, but I have fat fingers that get in the way. At college I was forced into taking Life Drawing classes and it was demanded that we sit there for two hours twice a week gripping Charcoal and draw a naked woman. After a while I ended up focusing on one part of her anatomy a session. I found focusing down to a semi macro level helped me not get overwhelmed. Why am I telling you this.. it has very little baring in the stuff I do now … or does it.
From those classes I learnt how to focus on detail. I didn’t use it much for a few years and I haven’t felt the urge to get any charcoal out since. But I can see the little details that some would miss. I am not saying that I am an expert… I am so far from being an expert I would need to use Google Earth to track it Expert down. I just see small things in big pictures.
So what do I do.
Well, I mess around with my iPhone and it’s numerous apps. I fool around in PhotoShop and it’s many filters. That pretty much covers my tools. I’ll list them on another page once I get the bare bones of this site up and running.
I’ll update this once I have a firmer idea of where the site is going but for now.. take a look around and leave a comment if you feel like it.
Nice blog Paul!
Thank you.
