IlloFriday...Sport....

sport


well i almost didnt make it this time. but here it is. i decided to take a different approach to illofriday this week. i know its last minute and a bad excuse for not doing something with my paints or pastels, but this is a good way to broaden my medium horizons. i thought i would try using photoshop and use the filters and tools to make my own artwork out of a photograph that was taken. the picture that was altered above, is of me fishing at the Venice Jetties down here in Florida. my boyfriend, Curtis, and I go fishing alot and since its a sport and I do it quite frequently, i thought it would fit the illofriday perfectly and would give me a chance to mess around with a program that im familiar with, but not a pro at. so here it is and i hope you like it. boy once i found that blurring tool, it was all downhill from there. i really liked the way it added those awesome swirls to the water, giving the picture a psychedelic feel to it. after all that fishing, i didnt even catch anything that day. it doesnt matter though, ive made up for it on others. so as always....enjoy.

oh and a little side note.....when cheryl finds out that i used photoshop and actually tried out the graphics world, she will just jump for joy. so here i am cheryl, dipping into your world. hope you like it and maybe you can give me some good pointers.

oh and another little side note....hope you guys like my new photo on here for my profile and comments. its a little sketch that is supposedly a little cartoon version of me. i did it a while back with colored pencils. i thought it was perfect and i think ill stick with it.
