Highlighter

I made a series of pictures for a recruitment ad for an organization, and this is just one of the five. I have eight pictures with this style, five are for the org and four are for vanity.

The style is really simple to do in photoshop. It's mainly gradient map. You just have to know the colors you need to use, mainly techno or acid.

Looking Back and Forward

Here's just a summary of previous works. Most are from my old gallery. This is the artist I am before and the artist I will improve in my portfolio.

Not the first thing I've done in digital, this is not even my serious work. I did this when I got bored, when I wanted to try to do my own drawing instead of using my mentor's drawings in drawing. What happened to those I did with my mentor? Well I couldn't find em.

I was too lazy, my mentor thought me 'bout form and opacity but I ignored that lesson. I just used dodge and burn and now I realized how bad it was.

I played gaia and do commish to a lot of people. I discovered many different styles but remained lazy in applying what I learned. I have the motivation to do something in 10 minutes and dramatically loses it and rush my works. I

could not control my pen probably cause of my odd pen grip.

I know vector way back. Originally I planned to make this one really vivid, with the background and every detail. I'm just terrible, at one moment I have a really detailed picture in mind then when I'm doing it, all the details will be

gone. Sickness I'll try to remedy.

Request from my sister. I asked a critic of her comments and gave me a lot of points to work on, both anatomy and composition. I now know what to work on, started scribbling on my notes again to practice.

Not much improvement cause of a lot of months spent on hiatus. But I could assess that I have done well and did improve. I'm building my portfolio, and this would be the standard of quality 1/10.

This maybe the first time that I impressed myself in photography. Maybe it's that awkward moment that you fall in love into doing something without the constant self critic in mind.

 What my friends would remember of me, it's the pic with the highest number of views on my gallery I guess.

Memories, lots of memories are captured by pictures and I miss the purple and orange sky. Taking pictures of clouds would be one thing that I'd say I enjoy in photography. I'll do my best to make better pics with better

composition for this portfolio.

School projects are just tedious and I'm really not motivated. I have fun doing things in the first few hours or minutes but then I'd get bored and rush things. Having this weak point without knowing my forte makes it really difficult

for me to become the artist I strive to be. I have to work harder.

I am proud of this work before but now I just think this one's lame. I could have done better, that's what I keep telling myself. 

I finished this one just recently for a series of ads for an art organization in the university. It's nice, and for now this will be the 1/10 standard for my future works.

Intro

Yo! First post, for real... if you've been in this site before and saw other posts, I just wrote those to test the layout.



Anyways, I don't want to jump on any serious blog posts, or maybe I won't be writing anything that's serious. I'd just post an intro of moi and what's up with this blog.

The about page already has those bg info and stuff, just gonna repeat some here. The real name's Ken, born and lives in the Philippines, am a self proclaimed artist. Nothing new, perhaps you know a lot of people with the same name and blahs.

I'm an artist, yeah, I labeled myself one cause I know I am. I do digital illustrations, photography and I can write ( seriously ), I can dance, and uhmm... sing? So yeah, I kinda consider myself versatile and a genius, hehe.

I'd be posting my artworks, and their gonna be awesome like me! Seriously, I'd try to do my best, afterall, this blog's my portfolio in the making.

I'd try to post simple tutorials as well, just some simple tricks I know.

Hmmm, that finishes this intro. Check on my stuff weekly, hopefully, I'd be posting weekly.
