Creative Computer Art

Like it Roders
(I'm not going to say it....I'm not going to say it.....) :D :D :D

 

Challenge! Create a fairly accurate shadow of an object(without copying)

 

WINDY!!! :D

Hope to have time for your challenge later H - have a good day allxx

 

Another and better attempt. A meaningful and useful challenge would be to learn one new technique a week.

 

Hi Guys

You are keeping up the creative work I see. Some great work. I love the roses Marge.

After a day away yesterday I have been trying out a new 'artistic' technique and I hope Marge doesn't mind me using her picture to experiment on but it just seemed right for the approach.

Coo, Im a pop-art poster :D Love it Platty

 

At least I had a go! :rolleyes:

 

And you succeeded - well done Marge! Not easy is it?

 

Thanks H - not sure about the sticky-out bit on the right - looks very strange!! :eek: No its not easy but gave me something to think about! I love your seahorse one - brilliant!

 

Did you do it the same way that I did? Select image and rub out background. Copy image to a blank sheet. Duplicate layer. Turn one copy black, distort, blur and merge.

 

Nope - I drew it freehand Then erased what I didnt want and blurred the edges! :rolleyes:

 

Well done indeed! I find freehand drawing with the mouse just about impossible. I have had a go at your Venus using the duplicate mask method previousy described. You can compare the two.

 

Oh thats so much better H - trust me to so it the hard way! :rolleyes:

 

I'll talk you through it, Marge - if you ever want to. It's a lot easier to do than to describe, but it is the only way to get complicated shadows. They are essential if objects are to look solid and standing on a ground surface
