As you know I use blender

The hardest part for me is trying to learn about nodes so I can make better materials for my models. And also I always forget about compositing. I try to avoid using nodes. I think well I will never be able to learn about nodes. I won't be able to learn about nodes if I keep that attitude up. So hopefully in 2021 I will learn more about nodes in blender and also compositing.

Its been aa long time since I have update this blog

I still use blender. And now I have a reason to make one project a week. I use blender to make a graphic for the songs I wrote. I have been making my own songs for over 4 years onw. And people have not been listening to those songs for even long. Ha ha. I have not finished even one car model with blender in 2020. There goes my dream of making car 3d models with blender.

I have not used gimp in a long time. And I am still terrible at using it. ITs the same with inkscape. I have not used inkscape in a long time and I am still terrible at using it.

I still use blender

When I posted to this blog a long time ago I used blender but, I only followed tutorials. I never made any projects of my own. I thought i needed a tutorial to make blender projects of my own. And then about 3 years ago I started making my own songs and to go with those songs I started making my own projects with blender. What I make with blender is not that great. Its more cartoon graphics. And I still have to watch a lot of blender video tutorials and get a lot better at using blender. I don't know that I will ever be great at blender. I do try. And sitting in front of a computer making art is surprisingly fun. I don't have the newest version of blender on my computer. I can still make are with blender though. Have a great evening.

Its been a long time since I updated this blog.

I might want to start writing posts for it again. Its been years since I wrote a post for it. Not that anyone misses the blog. If it were not my blog I sure would not miss it.

This is a drawing of a house I made with gimp. I wanted to practice using the perspective tool so I made this house.

Dress

Here is an image of a dress I made in gimp.

A few months ago I read a book about how to draw fashion illustrations. I loved drawing fashion so now I draw a fashion illustration everyday in my sketchbook. so I decided to draw a dress with gimp.

This is my first attempt to make something in gimp that is not a tutorial on the INTERNET or an exercise in a book. I just wanted to make something no matter how good it is. If I don't start making my own projects how will I get any better.

For the dress I used box select, turned the selection into a path, used the control points to get the shape I wanted, filled in the curve. For the head, neck, arms, legs I freehanded them with the pencil tool and the mouse.
