Every summer for as long as I can remember my mom, my sister and I have come up with "summer things" to occupy our time until school started up again in the fall. I've done painting, sewing, drawing, baking, and a myriad of other things, but my "thing" this year is, by far, the coolest. I rarely kept up with my projects once my summers ended, but this time I hope to keep it up for years to come. Creating clipart has been a fantastic experience!
The main thing I've learned throughout my clip art "summer thing" is how amazing Photoshop can be! For quite a while I have loved using it to retouch photos, but I had no idea what other cool things I could accomplish with its wide array of tools and effects. My latest new ability: marble! YouTube tutorials have become my best friends as I make my clip art as fun as possible. In addition to marble I've learned how to create tie dye, camouflage, glossy shine, and glitter. I have yet to think of a texture or pattern I couldn't find a tutorial for. I'm excited to see what I learn next!
I'm working hard to finish up my game pieces set by Saturday. Keep your eyes peeled!
