A meeting with Adobe...

Woooooahh!! A week has passed already? What a week it has been, from a group critique which ended sour to the frantic thoughts of finishing the pathway. What a week!! Previously in my life I realized how important family and friends are to me as I feel close to committing my life to someone. (I know, a scary thought.) Also people have been concerned with my sanity as I have a love for the dark and macabre, part of me can tell  why people are concerned but I find it so fascinating and the ideas and thoughts behind the people as they were being tortured and the people torturing them. University is coming closer and closer as the work piles up and people race ahead to complete the Foundation modules and work. I am finding I am keeping myself to myself at the moment as I need to focus on the directing into what my work will take.

Since the last blog post and the week has pasted my work has taken on the path into which I wanted it to, I began making models of barrels to show the construction and  how the shapes are made. Templates where the answer as I have no clue into 3D model making what so ever meaning the internet and Google was my first port of call. Horrrrahhh, the templates where there as I would of had no clue into how to draw my own, I used the to construct the basic spherical shapes which turned out well as they showed the curvature and consistent experimentation. I knew my fate though, a meeting with Adobe and the packages that lay within and around it, I began by scanning in my dress designs of the barrels from my sketchbooks before transfering them to Illustrator to create the vector graphic and then forwarded it to Photoshop to colour in the images, I found the colouring hard as with a mouse it was a tad hit and miss with changing the opacity and colour tones to create a fluid solid colour block. Overall I am very happy with the outcome and how the pieces have turned out, the lines are cleaner and more concise.

Personal life...
Not much again to report on again this week...
Harvey's voice seems to be getting louder and louder and has settled into a routine of waking me up at 6am to be let out which makes me day... not... naughty.
Mother's arm is recovering and the scabs are falling whilst the skin is healing.
Soul sister seems lost and hit a crossroads with life with not knowing which way to go and road to choice, I don't know how to react, should I cuddle her and sit with her to help sort it out or should I be stubborn and keep my distance and tell her to grow up? I can relate to her situation from when I dropped out from Rainford College back in 2010 and people where trying to pull me this way and that, I had no clear direction or focus so abandoned everything I had. Now I'm back on track and set for university in September!!
Glen (Boyfriend) is doing well also and we have a good and bad times but ultimately we love each other and hope it continues, he is one of few people I feel I can confide in and tell him how I really feel and be myself around.
