Description
Breaking the proceedure down to take nothing for granted. If there is a problem it is with balancing two minds - the one that draws and paints, and the one that applies the touches to their specific layers. This is a challenge for me. My ability to concentrate on drawing and painting makes me absent minded with respect to monitoring the technical procedures. I have to be an artist and a mechanic at the same time, which goes against the grain. Even here, being meticulous, I managed to confound the layers, putting the lines of one figure in the folder for a different figure, and varieous notes in various unrelated folders. My way has always been to use TEMP layers, and this only to solve problems or separate elements temporarily, then collapse them as soon as they've served the purpose. But why have the technology and not learn it, or learn it and not use it? So, here we go, again.
I have to say that despite the frustration caused by my absent-mindedness and the need to form new and better habits working digitally, I marvel at the power the technology bestows. It was a lot of fun drawing, painting and rendering these little figures in a disciplined, methodical way that enabled me to manipulate effects, address different levels, etc. It's worth the trial and error period.
