Four Badstract Photoes

Yeah. You heard me. They are pretty bad. I know I promised to fill this blog with awesome but that's proving to be harder than I thought it would be. Anyway, here they are. I'm posting four because I might want some input on which ones of the ones I took to use.






I'm not proud of this: Part Deux

Okay, so give me fifteen minutes by myself and let me draw something. Several clicks and about fifteen minutes later I present to you an outline of myself wearing a pirate hat. BEHOLD!
Okay, so I'm honestly beginning to wonder. Is it really bad that the first thing you created is leagues better than the second or third? I should also probably mention that this post and the last post were completed days ago. I just never got around to updating the blog. I chose this one as my fifteen minutes because I really didn't like the idea of committing an hour or so to draw something that would look like crap anyway. (And we all know how fabulous my 1 Hour picture came out, so great idea there!)

Anyway, enough ranting, There are photos de abstract to take. Later!

I'm not proud of this: Part Une

Okay, so I spent an hour fiddling around in Photoshop trying to learn stuff and draw something at the same time. Things did not go so well. The idea here was to recreate something I drew a long time ago in high school. Something I, while waiting for the bus, decided to just... well... draw. I have no idea what it is or what it means but I can tell you that the sketch looks a crap-load better than this hunk o poop. I apologize in advance if your eyes start bleeding.
On the bright side, I figured layers out. Or at least started to. So I guess something good came out of it.

Half hour picture COMPLETED!

So yeah I had a sit down with my girlfriend who is pretty Photoshop savvy and she showed me a few tricks while I worked on this. It's not much, but it's a helluva lot better than than it woulda been without her help.

Behold! Feast your eyes on THIS...
