@aronow my sleep deprived self recommends more yellow. Get that hot dog stand theme inspiration.
In all seriousness I spent more time than I should have contemplating the red and yellow of your Ramen shark. I couldn't remember what it reminded me of, until I remebered a nearly 20 yo blog post by @codinghorror about the hot dog stand theme from windows 3.1.
Any #illustrator / #artist friends out there willing to answer a question? I was asked to submit a proposal for a project but I have no idea how to do that or what to charge.
Appreciate any help! Please DM me if you’re more comfortable discussing in private.
Something I had to remind myself tonight that might help others too: "easy" and "simple" are extremely subjective. That simple floral doodle looks good because the author has done a hundred of them, slowly building an intuition for what looks right. That simple cartoony face looks good because the author spent their teens copying animated characters. That simple abstract watercolor looks good because the author knows their medium and has built an instinct for color. #art#artAdvice
I use it all the time, works great on both Mac and iPad for me. Publisher is good too IMO, but I have quite light needs for it. Using Photo less, only bc I am still so much faster on Lightroom and Photoshop after many years.
Someone commented on one of my photographs that it was a “beautiful capture”. It made me feel like it was just a snapshot. Some photographs out there are so digitally manipulated they no longer seem to be real images; they are still stunning, but can you still call them photographs? I honestly don’t know. Photographers have been manipulating images from day one, instead of the computer, it was the dark room. I guess I take umbrage that if my photograph isn’t presented with a thousand filters, appears with a cursive watermark, and isn’t artistic in some way, that my photograph is somehow invalid. #Photography#Photographer#PhotographerRant#Art#ArtAdvice#ArtRant
@chemoelectric So what’s the cutoff for an artistic photo? 5 minutes? 5 hours? 5 days? I have my camera calibrated to take the photo the way I want. Post process, I’ll color correct it and present it the way I want. I’ve been doing this long enough, that I know exactly what settings I want to adjust and thanks to technology I see real-time feedback. Sometimes that takes less than a minute, other times I can fiddle with something for a couple hours and produce a mediocre result.
