IF - SCARY!


I didn't want to miss IF this week, so quickly put this one together. Work this week and last means I've missed out on quality time to spend on IF. Avoiding all temptation to submit the already completed Halloween cupcake, sort of along the scary line, I came up with one of my biggest scares!!!! Spiders!
Enjoy. x

Peanut Butter Cupcake


This one has taken me a while now.Take a closer look as there is some delicate detail on the cake stand. I'm hoping this will form a series of cake inspired pictures. And this is the first one I shall be sending off to the new printers, so fingers crossed the quality is pleasing. If you look closely there's a full recipe in the background, although most of it is hidden by the stand and cake. Anyone who wants to try the full recipe just inbox me, and I'll gladly pass it on. x

Little Bird -Collage




Another little PS collage. This time trying to get to grips with selection tool and puppet warp. I'm sure at some point I'll look back at these and want to alter them in some way, but that seems a long way off right now.

Souffle - Collage




A quickie on PS to practice again. Still trying to keep a rustic, painterly feel, with a twist of collage. I keep asking myself what inspires me most, and funnily enough I always come back to cooking! I'm currently working on another cupcake, Another passion of mine :)

IF - Scattered


So here it is!... My very first digital post!!! And for all you digiart-tech's out there, this is my first full PS painting after 3 weeks of self teaching. I am pleased with it, but I think I've scrambled my brain with all the tutorials. All I'll say is I've learnt a hell of a lot, and yes I could have sat for another 3 weeks tweaking and warping, but its time to move on with what I've learnt so far and create another one. Her face is hand drawn and part of a much larger project, but I need to fill the gap between working on a monstrous sized piece and getting a handle on PS. So there you go! I certainly know what I'll be asking Santa for :)

IF -Hibernate




I haven't done IF - Illustration Friday for yonks! Just one of those things. But I was researching the web and came across IF, and low n behold the piece I was working on fitted perfectly. Its good to be back!!!

This is my first post that features some digital tweeking... I'm trying to get to grips with PS5. I'm getting there, but you'll have to excuse the crude basics of my efforts. Whilst its great for adding layers that would take an age to do manually, I'm still an old fashioned girl at heart and love nothing more than a fresh piece of paper and a selection of pencils. Give it a few weeks and I'll look back at this effort and think OMG!!!!
