Photography: My new found addiction!

      Well, addiction is an exaggeration but who knows? It might be true someday. XD Whenever I see a professional photo shoot like those on National Geographic Channel (book) and on magazines , I get marveled on how a picture can portray a lot of things... Yeah, curiosity got me.. hehe

PIXLR tutorial: DARK ART

     Before all of this, I just want to stress out my quote.

ART IS JUST LIKE SCIENCE. THE KEY TO CREATIVITY IS EXPERIMENT. ^^

So what is PIXLR?

      Pixlr is a free online photo editor. If you don't have an Adobe Photoshop, this would be the best alternative to use. What I love about Pixlr is that it has 3 features.

1. The PHOTO EDITOR.
      This is my favorite among the three because it's so close to Adobe. This used to be my stepping stone to photo editing. I practiced here and learned a lot about some of Adobe's features. If you want to excel in editing, you must try this. ^^

ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS

      ART plus TECHNOLOGY equals my HABIT. Now, my  new addiction is video editing. Thanks to SYMBIANIZE I got  ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS CS3, a tool that lets you edit your video with an amazing effects. Unfortunately, only Filipinos are allowed to sign up here. 

       I just learned the basics through video tutorials. I downloaded some videos from VIDEOCOPILOT and some from YOUTUBE.

Draw an anime of yourself

      First things first, I want to emphasize the defference between DRAWING and EDITING. 

          Many people mistakenly call drawing a mere editing. In editing, you just modify some or all of the attributes of a picture or image where as in drawing, you start from a scratch or from a blank canvas and draw something in it.

Digital Drawing: Adobe and Paint Tool Sai

Boy Next Door in Adobe

     There was this man named Shinzuo Ryuketsu (Redge Santos, real name) who introduced digital drawing to me. I call him SENSEI. He's not actually a professional teacher, but he's a teacher to me in his own way. (echos XD). He taught me a lot of things about digital arts (and I'm beginning to think he knows everthing about it.. XD) I think his favorite Adobe tool is the SMUDGE tool (obviously lol.)

Traditional Drawing

     Drawing has been my hobby for almost five years I think. I discovered this little talent when I was in 2nd year high school. Since then, i know that I had this immense appreciation for such a thing. Nah, everytime I see a work of art, I just stop, stare at it, look into details, and Wow! I wanna try this out! 

Adobe Photoshop: Drawing real eyes

     I've been wondering how artists draw real eyes since the day I began to draw. Then I began to watch some video tutorial in youtube on how to draw real eyes in a traditional way (that is with pencil and paper).

     Recently, i got involved with adobe editing, that is about a year now. I edited one of my pictures and came up with the picture I call "The redhead werewolf".

The Art of Clay Making

This has been my hobby fo quite a time.
