Day 132: Hamilton, NJ #Inkscape

Hamilton Township
Hamilton Township

This was a late revision (the final is slightly different) in a recent project where I had the privilege of helping to design and produce a trade show banner set for Hamilton Township. I used Inkscape to gather, layout, and design the panels according to client specifications, and then brought them into SketchUp to help the clients visualize what the product would look like. Thanks to Hamilton Township for a fun and challenging project!

Day 120: dark hand #GIMP

Dark hand
Dark Hand

In a class on human anatomy drawing in my undergraduate fine arts degree, we drew 50 hands and feet a week. It was one of my favorite classes. Drawing hands with a Wacom is far more challenging than more traditional physical media, but I’m going to try to improve.

So I tried a new technique in which I made a single image into a small moment of animation or a cinematic. I did not get the animation quite right, but I like it, for a first try.

So this is an image of a girl I found at Morguefile, and I used the clone and smudge tools to erase her face. A metaphor, perhaps.
