2012 Goals: I Believe I Can
At the start of the year 2012, there were things that I really want to do and would like to start afresh with the year of the water dragon. These are just a few of the things I want to do for the year:
~ Read the Bible everyday.~ Go at least once a month to a place I have never been before or experience unusual events or activities.~ Learn new language, I only have English, Tagalog and Bisaya, I hope it isn't too late to start it.~ Get my butt up and start exercising, best case is to enroll in a gym, wishful thinking!~ Spend more time with family and friends.~ Start investing for my future.~ Get a new hobby.~ Be more creative.
So far, I am glad that I am now starting to work on each goals. For the first one, I bought a book entitled "365 Daily Supplements For The Heart" by Ed Lapiz, it's something like the Daily bread. In this book, each page is dedicated for a day, it's like a pill for each day of the year with verses on it. I am glad that I was able to follow on it by God's grace.
My first Line Art
On my last post entitled: Wish I may, Wish I might, I had wished that I may be able to use the pen tool and create digital photos, so I started working and researching about it.
Super happy today because I had created my first line art through Adobe Photoshop CS4. This is the result of my research and hardwork, tadaaa!
This is not a finish product though but I am proud that I was able to create one. I used two tools here, pen and brush tools. I am thankful with this site that I bumped into while doing the research, it was a site of Melissa Clifton and she had posts starting with the basic up until the finish product. What I did here is actually on the second stage of the tutorial, after this, I should be able to create a halftone image. However, since I am too excited to show you my creation, I did not wait til I get the final product. I thought it will be better if you guys can also see the progress of my work. So starting with the line art first since this is the basics. I never thought that this is too easy until I read Melissa's tutorial, minus the experiment part. Well, there are instances that you don't have to follow the steps given in the tutorial, we need to really experiment on our own.
So, there you go, I will soon be posting here my creations and the improvements to be in the future. Hope you can also give me tips on how to improve my work, if you could.
Thanks!!
