Cat and Mouse




Playing around with creating animations in Procreate on the iPad.  Weegee, my cat, was kind of enough to make the cat sound for me although I had to offer him some payment in the form of extra treats

Harlequins



 I bought a set of gouache paints today to see how they were different from my watercolors.  I have never used gouache before and didn't want to wait to draw first, so I  found an old drawing from 2012 that was was just ink on paper and colored that in.  Gouache colors are stronger than my watercolors although once I put the image in the computer I can manipulate the colors to look anyway I want, so it only matters if you are looking at the original.  Some part of me is really resistant to letting the computer become part of my drawing process, but I have decided to embrace technology. Tomorrow I am going to take the plunge and get an ipad and start drawing on that.  I am thinking of using animated drawings  as a big element in my film about Riggs.  This is a good time to start exploring that.  Let's see what happens.
