Five Minute Drawings

School Play 2017, The Little Mermaid

Low Poly Honey Bear

I followed the strawberry tutorial from the last post.  You truly do have to use a photo that is straight on.  My dog's head is always tipped a little.  So in order to use half the head I had to Transform > Warp to fit the two halves together.

Photoshop Tutorial Strawberry

Trying a few different things using a photo I took of a strawberry.  Hoping to get a deal on Strawberries for my students.  First a scribble mask.  Second a painting with added blur.  Third is my first attempt at Low Poly.  Fourth putting them side by side as a type of Graphic Illustration Study.

Crushing on the Low Poly Strawberry - YUM!

Tiny Planet Photoshop Tutorial

Tiny Planet Photoshop Tutorial.  This one is fun and easy!




Pin The Tail On The Mouse

My colleagues are very respectful.  There are never too many requests.   In the past 14 years I have only declined a few.  It is obvious how hard they work and the long hours they clock.  I am happy to be included in the amazing things they cook up for the kids. Whatever is given (time, supplies) comes back double in warmth, appreciation & more.
This mouse was made for a special event.  It was a challenge to draw a mouse from behind for a game of Pin the Tail on the Mouse.  The kids will appreciate it!

Five Minute Drawings

My mother sends inspiration out to friends and family the old fashioned way(with a stamp on an envelope).  She includes my five minute drawings.
