Holy crap I've been getting hundreds of pageviews since school ended and it's all because of that last Homestuck post. And I just realised this yesterday because I never signed in. Anyway, looks like I'll be adding more pictures! All I have is Corel Painter X, so that's what I'll be using for everything.
Here I drew Vriska, Eridan, and Terezi as grubs. They are adorable.
I've really enjoyed this class. I've always liked drawing and I have some experience photoshopping pictures and using tablets, so I looked forward to taking digital arts. I feel like I learned a lot of techniques to digitally create my own original images in a short amount of time, and I became comfortable with Corel Painter. I have Painter X at home and I'm glad I know how to use it now. I learned about the DADA movement that lead to pop art, Andy Warhol, impressionism, Van Gogh, surrealism, and Salvador Dali. I'm glad I got the chance to draw out my creativity in these projects as well as make a lot of other drawings on the side, and I look forward to taking Digital Arts II next year.
This was another illustration I had created for the online school but I couldn't come up with an inspirational quote to put on it so I haven't used it and I forgot to upload it. I drew it in Corel Painter XI using a colour palette of only the Homestuck trolls' blood colours.

I drew all of the trolls from the webcomic Homestuck (created by Andrew Hussie) in Corel Painter XI just for fun. I used the tool DigitalColor Meter for reference and revised these pictures a lot in order to create sharper and better quality images with well-defined colours.
This image was made by editing out the background of a photograph, using multiple layers and various brushes and adding lighting to create an illustration behind it, then filtering the layer from the photograph and blending it into the background to create a surreal image that depicts a person disintegrating into feathery wisps. The hardest part was trying to blend the different parts of the image and create depth.
This illustration was also created for the online school and was made the same way in Corel Painter 11 and Adobe Photoshop as the first wolf illustration. The image only uses two colours, but made use of the tablet pressure sensitivity and different opacity levels to create a wide range of shades.
This assignment was to create an inspirational illustration to submit to the online school that was opened this spring. The image was drawn in Corel Painter 11 using Sumi-e brushes and several layers. The text was added using Adobe Photoshop.
