Photoshop flowers

[memento1]

Yay, I made art! I was wandering around art sites searching for inspiration when I ran across Thia. It's been a while since I'd explored her art so I went all around her various sites, just boggling at her artwork. She's always been a huge inspiration for me, especially because she makes all her own resources and does everything herself, which is what I'm trying to move towards. So I opened up Photoshop and tried making a flower with the pen tool, which she does amazingly well. I was quite surprised at the outcome, since I'm not much of an artist when it comes to hand-crafting. But I'm incredibly proud of it, since I did it all in Photoshop without a single outside resource. Although of course it's hugely influenced by some of Thia's pieces.



There's also a wallpaper version on my site. Yay art! Whatever happened to my muse, I hope she sticks around for a nice long while.

For some reason I can't see the picture in this entry (or your header anymore!) but I went to look at the wallpaper, and it's AWESOME! Niiice work! :D

The thrill of making something on your own, without anyone else's textures or brushes or anything, is really great. And yaaay, pen tool. :D I find the pen tool challenging but rewarding. Keep making stuff! I want to see more!! 1280x800 is my screen size, btw, if you ever feel like making widescreen desktops. *whistles innocently*

Bah. Thanks for telling me. I had them in my LJ scrapbook set to private. Can you see them now?

And thank you very much! I completely agree, the pen tool is very challenging, and that's what makes it so rewarding once you get it. I hadn't used it in a few years and I definitely had a learning curve in trying to remember how to use all the tools. *L*
