This one's an experiment in colouring. Used ink-and-pencil technique, like for squid, then used the GIMP to colour it in. I created three extra layers of the drawing, then colour-shifted them to red, orange and blue respectively. Then simply erased the unwanted parts of each layer. Not too much work, considering, but I wouldn't want to do it with more than about half a dozen different colours. *Whistles 'Sonic the Hedgehog' theme tune* |

Have my drawing table set up again, which is encouraging me to draw again. This is good. Current experiment = mixing pencil shading with ink outlines. Surprisingly professional looking. Shall continue to do this. The squid is irate. Do not taunt the squid. (Clicky for slightly biggy.) Had thought about using the miracle of computars and smoothing the pencil marks into a smoother gradient, but I kinda like the roughness of raw pencil. |

Edit: maybe it's pissed off about dolphins with guns.
But does anybody know how one makes an actual font, rather than a collection of vector graphics files? I'm just curious; I don't really have the patience for font design.

Temple of Doom bad.
Potato of Doom (scroll down) good.
I now own a potato of doom, thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gominokouhai and stormsearch! Woohoo!
Spent most of last evening bearing it aloft, proclaiming "POTATO OF DOOM!" to all in earshot. 8^D
Randomness, to test out a) flocci.org website and b) vector graphics skills:

Oh, and random link for galaxy_girl00 and friends: http://www.bitterfilms.com/anesthetics-eyespots.html
Ever seen somebody so obviously drawable that it would be a crime not to draw them? 8^)
This is the lecturer for "Querying and Storing XML". A crazy guy.

I've got a scanner I've got a scanner I've got a scanner!
Well, actually I've had one for a week or so now, but only just got round to installing it and testing it.
Lookit how well it works! That was a 5cm-wide doodle I did during a particularly boring HCI lecture. Now blown up to RIDICULOUS PROPORTIONS through the miracle of HIGH-RESOLUTION SCANNING! Do you see any chunky pixelage? I think NOT!
And yes, this is on a linux computer. Yay SANE! Yay Epson! Yay xsane frontend! I love you all and you are my new silicanous friends!

I went into teh art shop last week, asking "Ummm... do you have a drawing board? Maybe with one of those sliding ruler thingies?" (I'm a geek; I need the ruler, otherwise it isn't a proper drawing board!). Turns out that prices start at 48 quid, and that's only for an A3 sized one! Ouch! I beat a hasty retreat, and started thinking...
( Plan, execution, success! )By the way, is it just me, or is there something strangely flattering to a man's ego to be walking through town carrying a hefty load of construction material? 8^)
Decay!

Well, this is what I've been doing last night and this afternoon; drawing a neko version of stormsearch. It was a strange experience; for one thing, it's the first time I've had someone pose for me to draw them since school. There's just that little bit of pressure through expectation, and I screwed up a couple of initial sketches. For another, it's one thing drawing neko girls off the top of my head (I don't do that many, honest), but felinising an actual person is kind of bizarre.
