Well, as I'm going to sixth form in a couple of weeks and one of my main subjects is art, I thought I finally get off my arse and start my Deviant Art account, (regardless of the fact that to actually make my account I need to be sitting), and start sharing the wonders of my artistic creations....if I had any.
This isn't necessarily true, I do have a wide assortment of scribbles, sketches and the like which could in theory be placed onto my account. The problem is that the paper to digital process which I need to follow to achieve this goes as such:
1. Sketch is drawn to the degree where I achieve a sense of achievement and general contentment.
2. Sketch is brought to a small study/shed/hut building on the other side of the garden where an ancient (though A3) scanner is hooked up to an equally (if not more so) ancient iMac.
3. Sketch is scanned numerous times to get the right quality, though optimism is diminished when you can see your art for the bundle of smudges and scribbles it truly is. iMac is left to send digital sketch through e-mail to computer A in the comfort of the house. Two hours of waiting later, attempt is abandoned and a cd is created instead.
4. The endless task of cleaning, shading and perfecting of sketch through Photoshop begins until the piece is declared finished.
5. After hours of processing, cleaning and perfecting your original piece, you suddenly realise that the piece wasn't all it was worked up to be and ends in your recyling bin or some deep dark corner of your computer from where files never return.
6. Lying in the fetal position quickly ensues.
So, in other words there is more art to come so keep watching!
