I'm making progress with the physical therapist and I can almost bring my right arm up level with my shoulder. I can now draw for short little stints :)<br /><br />I've been thinking alot lately about the steampunk genre, my absolute favorite theme of all, and my chibi drawing style...so here's a little something I came up with just for fun and to get me back in the mood to draw again...it's wayy out of the Pearl Too universe and literally off into the wild blue yonder, steampunk style...I give you my son, Zack, as a chibi steampunk airship captain....<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339455732495581890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 378px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb8j-3HuQju2VOg0qlCPvEqm8qHDc7RrWu4qeH6Plv_2D7yDE84u62_17R9DpmoT-tY6y9q7dO5J9Q69OQW3aUo35skEiB12TFbJa5Gr3KIeJI-bGUHVgRRmcmyBKmvF2qIKZTseXQckPV/s400/SP_Zack+copy+copy.jpg" border="0" /><br />Note: The above drawing was 99% colored using the Photoshop techniques found in the video tutorial at the bottom of this page...check it out, it vastly improved my abilities in that area, thanks to Wil, the heart and soul of Creative Soul TV.Warm 'N Fuzzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15612943527356430853noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915341196164199205.post-36690671450167346622009-05-01T08:42:00.000-07:002009-05-01T08:58:52.000-07:00Owwww...I love my bike, I truly do....<br /><br />Monday morning after a visit with my physical therapist to work on my neck issues, I headed to my favorite trailhead to do a nice, long, peaceful pedaling...making a long story real short, while attempting to clip in I took a flop on my right side, hit the concrete hard and earned a trip to the hospital where the good people of the ER put my dislocated shoulder back where it belongs.<br /><br />I'm right-handed. So, until I've seen the orthopedic surgeon this coming Monday, The Knitting Krazies and Pearl Too will be on a brief hiatus of unknown length - sorry, I'm wayyy too unknown a cartoonist to have any guest artists help out while I mend...I promise I'll heal as fast as I can and be back at the drawing board quick.<br /><br />And to the three unknown angels of mercy that stopped to help me after I crashed - Dear Sweet Ladies, thank you so much...you truly are the very best :)Warm 'N Fuzzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15612943527356430853noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915341196164199205.post-74362953005512314062009-04-17T20:51:00.001-07:002009-04-21T15:56:25.926-07:00Coloring with Photoshop by Creative SoulA terrifically talented friend of mine, Wil Massenburg, a.k.a Creative Soul, made this fabulous instructional video on coloring with Photoshop for me. I thought it was wayy too good to keep to myself, so Wil was good enough to make this version, starring one of my line drawings, so I'd be able to share it with you. I met Wil on line at Twitter, which as you may or may not know is a great networking tool as well as being very social...I have met so many creative, inventive people there. You'll find this amazing video at the bottom of this page, just click to start. I know you'll be able to learn as much from it as I have. Thanks, Wil - you are awesome.
