Hey there birdie!
Wow, this month sure has slipped by quickly!
I was listening to someone talk about failure a few days ago. It got me thinking about how life is filled with opportunities to experiment and learn from.
If something doesn’t work, I like to try to figure out why and what I might do differently the next time. Then try again.
Admittedly, I don’t always do it but recently I did…
It was time to play around and digitize this sweet birdie. I tried a few different ways…Adobe Illustrator made the sketchy lines too wonky. I spent a ton of time erasing bits and trying to fix things but no deal. It just looked bad.
Then I redrew her in the Procreate app on my iPad (Procreate is a digital illustration app). That looked too clean.
I set the sweet birdie aside for a week and then I got some ideas about how I might approach this in the past few days. In Illustrator I can play with changing the settings in image trace. In Procreate, I can try choosing brushes that are a bit more rough and sketchy.
I haven’t done anything yet but I’m looking forward to getting back to playing around and seeing what might work.
