Birds

I drew the birds for a project I am working on, you'll see it sometime in the future hopefully. I thought it would be interesting to keep the birds black and white and use some of my phots for the backgrounds.

Pen Doodle which I didn't like so I altered it in Photoshop

The pens were a gift and I was trying them out, but I didn't know what to draw.

I used neural filters

Digital - Tablet Doodles - I did these quite a while ago but They've been sitting on my computer waiting for me to do something with them, not necessarily together but I decided to combine them digitally then I can get rid of them. I've altered the colour of the 'flower'.

I was messing about with watercolour and a small bottle of perfume that I didn't like to see if it reacted any differently than water - it didn't seem too, but the paper stunk for ages.

I didn't like what I produced, looks like fried eggs on something and not at all appealing.

So I thought I would see what I could do with it in Photoshop

Notepaper filter and the rest are various neural filters. They all still look like eggs!

This one I made into a repeating pattern

Shaun the Sheep on the Tyne Art Trail

There are 45 different large Shaun the sheep sculpture around the Newcastle area plus some smaller ones but this is the only one that I have seen so far. They are painted by different artists in different ways. When the trail finishes the sheep are sold to raise money for St Oswald's Hospice. I was reading yesterday that 5 sheep had been vandalised by morons so St Oswald's say they won't be doing this anymore because they're are using the money raised for repairs etc How sad is that? {In 2019 they did a similar thing featuring Elmer the elephant]
