It was a spur of the moment drawing, so I didn't pay much attention when plotting it out. Live and learn always. :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Terry. Yeah, me and sports are not the best of friends,but there are some sport that capture my attention. Just chasing balls around fields or a chunk of plastic on ice aren't some of them :) Besides, it is my job, so I have a vested interest sort of.<BR/><BR/>Yes I have Photoshop but don't use the auto levels as it never seems to look right, so I tweak a bit here and there. I'll figure out the right formula eventually. Its my least favourite part of art work.<BR/><BR/>Can you lose your watercolours? Heheh, yep, especially when you don't use them often. I did find them you'll be pleased to know, buried in my art cupboard.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-50367162463702790832008-07-23T22:40:00.000-02:302008-07-23T22:40:00.000-02:30Jeanette-- I liked all of your versions of your ea...Jeanette-- <BR/>I liked all of your versions of your early morning art. I really like the humongous cup of coffee and the hand is very good because you went oversize so the hand looks normal. Too many artists make hands too small. And I do agree with your other commentors about the cool ideas you come up with. And your latest post has to do with sports which surprises me since you dismissed hockey on my last conversation with you. On your scans--do you have Photoshop and do you use Auto Contrast/Levels? I do and it really does wonders to the image. Also--no one loses their watercolors, do they?????Terry Banderashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385580002170019500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-57643211620496607852008-07-23T16:12:00.000-02:302008-07-23T16:12:00.000-02:30love the giant cup! i know it's really a matter of...love the giant cup! i know it's really a matter of perspective but it makes this portrait really stand out. well done. i like both versions actually!Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-75597562211510909262008-07-22T20:33:00.000-02:302008-07-22T20:33:00.000-02:30Call me nutty, but I like the exaggerated proporti...Call me nutty, but I like the exaggerated proportions.
