Same method as the other art doodles - Art Rage on the iPad, but this time I chose metallic colour to fill the spaces in between...consequently the Percolated version looks bit...hinky. That will go to the big art waste basket in the sky.
I drew this whilst watching 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1' during the tense bits...yes I've read the book so I know what happens, but I still don't really cope with 'tense bits' at the moment. Though I shall leave you with a cliff hanger...will I manage to be well enough to get to the cinema to watch part two?
This is for @karinSF because she's a lovely friend.
I've returned, after a long gap to my 'Into the fire' (one day it may be a) series.
The background for this image was created so long ago I have no idea how I made it. I loaded it into Art Rage and drew the figure, then flooded it with colour and tweaked the opacity.
Then Scratchcam followed by Photo FX ultra to add texture and light. Somewhere along the way I percolated the image and blended them together with HDR fix. Finally a few Weather FX and a crop.
It's been a long day and this has calmed and relaxed me greatly. Thank goodness for art's many therapeutic qualities...
Another AppIt! entry.

After getting enthusiastic feedback for the previous post I've continued my doodling art play. I was lucky enough to receive a Bamboo stylus to use with my iPad for my birthday so I used that and the Inkpad app.
I've been busy putting together some ideas I have for a new site and have been learning (or trying to learn) about vector layers and their importance when it comes to using text in a design. I've been creating a logo and header and I used my usual Paint Shop Pro, but alas that programme can't save as a PDF thingy something file so if I wanted to create a business card or similar from the designs they'll be fuzzy. So, I need to get to grips with Photoshop Elements. But Fibro brain isn't cooperating with that plan... Remembering that I have a vector drawing app on my iPad (Inkpad) I thought I'd see if Fibro brain could cope with a doodle or two created with that instead. It means thinking in a whole different way, or does for me, so it was a little frustrating at first, but I'm quite pleased with this drawing. I was hoping that the text tool in Inkpad would have the versatility of a desktop programme but alas it doesn't. So I'm still going to have to learn PSE...I have a book with lessons in...but I'm too impatient! I want to have the knowledge delivered to my brain directly, Matrix style.
A question for those out there with more knowledge of this subject than I (not difficult as I'm sure you've realised) do the online vector conversion sites do a good enough job for printing small scale items like buttons and stickers? Thanks...in advance.
*PS - Nel I salute you! And Blu. You guys are so encouraging and I'm lucky to have you out there. Thanks ever so much.
Here's the previous final image (of my mouth) given the tiny planet treatment...
This Posterous blog needs a major overhaul, so why did I just spend time messing about at these two places?
http://about.me/SandraLockhttp://flavors.me/SandraLockI think I prefer the first. Though when I google my name my Google profile appears, after it's asked me if I mean 'Sondra Locke' * and my page at the Saatchi Gallery comes up next. Interesting...
(I guess playing with fonts is easier than dealing with email and requires less brain power. But I should probably have carried on reading the Dresden Files...)
*No I don't.
My obsession with the app 'Weather Photo effects' continues...I have a notion to make this the background for the current Muses' challenge.
The secret
I resized this with Paintbook - not sure what effect that will have on the quality of the image though...?
