Robots Attack!
Here’s the new series (yet another set of 4 images) I started - or more like, RE-started - this week. I’ve had a robot image for some time now in the W-I-P forum that I keep going back to and messing about with. This one - the first that’s actually finished - is the first that’s made me happy - well, satisfied - with the output.
I hope to continue this series over the next month or so. Now that I’ve got a bit of time to mess with these things, I’m getting pretty prolific. Nothing great - it’s definitely a “quantity over quality” thing. But it gets me working on something every day, which, let’s face it, is the key to getting better. Basketball players don’t just practice when the mood strikes; concert pianists (hehe - he said “pianists”!) don’t just practice whenever they feel like it. Artists should practice every day, too. Fifteen minutes of noodling around can really go a long way to improving hand-eye coordination, technique, style. Try it - take a week or so and set aside 15 - 20 minutes to just work on graphics stuff, and I guarantee you that you’ll be better by the end of the week. Just practice drawing shapes, or experimenting with blends, or drawing abstracts and experimenting with color schemes. After a week, it will be a habit and you’ll do your 15 minutes every day without even realizing it.
