My First Picture

So I’ve been spending some time trying to draw pictures in Paint.  I found a tutorial online and have used that to help draw my first picture :-).  If you want to have a go at drawing a picture in Paint, you can access the tutorials at this link. 

The picture was mainly drawn using the line tool and the oval shape.  I used the eraser quite a bit to remove parts of the picture that overlapped.  I also used the fill tool and airbrush for adding the colour and effects.

I’m actually pretty happy with my first attempt at a picture.  It wasn’t too difficult and it actually turned out much better than what I thought I could do.  I will find some more tutorials to help me draw pictures, so that it gives me a chance to learn the different features in Paint.

I think the hard thing will be to draw my own design!  Anyway check out my picture below and let me know what you think.

  2. A great start! This demonstrates how brave you are - putting your attempt at art up for Vicki to see. It's like cooking a meal for Jamie Oliver (or even Mandy for that matter...)
    I believe courage is a virtue necessary in finding your passion. You obviously have what it takes!

  3. Haha, yeah I was feeling quite shy when I posted that picture. Actually Netts got me a subscription to Digital Artist Magazine for Christmas. I think I’m going to take this digital drawing a little bit more serious. I’ve decided to get Photoshop and I’m also looking at doing an online beginner’s drawing course. It’s actually a drawing course using pencils, but I thought this would be good as it will provide me with the basic principles of drawing, which I can translate digitally. Also, I thought producing some mixed media artwork would be good. This is when I make a sketch, then scan and work on enhancing it with a program such as Photoshop.
