*Whispers Of Harmony* New Graphic Art

reply to post by Starwise


I absolutely LOVE this! I used to do graphic design to the point of being really quite obsessive about it. I haven't done anything for a number of years now though.

I really love the colors you've chosen here on this design, really serene. I plan on redoing my bedroom this summer and this is close to the color scheme I'm leaning towards...so relaxing.

Nice job!!

S&F

Those both were very nice Starwise.

Very beautiful.

It's not too bad. I've done some knotwork illustrations myself. (Some get a little crazy like a flattened turks-head knot variants or a trefoil/Sierpenski-triangle hybrid.) I'd suggest that Illustrator might be a better program to use if you find yourself working with the pen tool a lot in Photoshop. (It's more vector orientated and has more tools for that kind of thing.)

I also find illustrating knotwork/lattice patterns are a good way to kill time while doing a lot of waiting. There's actually a kind of method to the madness too, which is meditative in a way. One nice thing is that the clipboard with paper and pencil don't need recharging and run out of juice like a tablet (my other time eating device) does.

You are a natural, you really should consider a career as a professional crop circle architect, or 33rd degree free mason.

Wow, your work is lovely! Dont want to sound rude or demanding but I would very much enjoy seeing more pieces from you, your paintings too!

Well Done. I like the symbolism. I Like the color. I like the way you 'layered' symbols upon symbols, but you can still pick them out. I like the texture. I like, so I to give you a star. Very Nice. Keep Art-ting!

Thank you all for the compliments and tips!!

Not quite sure how to take that?

I just recently started getting really interested in Graphic Art. I normally paint or work with pencils or charcoals, but decided to see what I could do with photoshop. I have a few more that I have done but this one is my favorite.

Thoughts? Anyone else do graphic design?

HUH??
Do you mean like how many layers I used?? Answer A LOT!
I used noise, blurs, difference clouds, lens flares etc...and vectors
I just found the color combo I wanted and went from there...

Wow. Although I'm not a graphic designer, and so my words may not hold as much weight, or authority, I have to say, this doesn't look like a beginner's work! Perhaps your experience in other mediums has helped. Or maybe you just have the "the artist's touch", or some kind of Art Gene XD hey those are both first names XP Art Gene. Gene Art. Hmmm. I hope you will share more And yes, someone will eventually ask if they use one of your images as an avatar. I was half tempted myself XD

Oh very lovely indeed! I love the color combinations and symbols you decided to use, of course being Pagan, I would. lol

Keep on creating! I love Photoshop as well, I can lose myself in the program for hours if not a whole day or two. lol

Have you fiddled around with liquify yet? It's super handy and fun. It's in the filter drop down menu.

Thank you. Once I get on Photoshop I may spend 10-12 hours before I quit. I can't stop playing around....The hardest part is learning all the tools I have tried just about every filter there is (I think) now I am going to have to go check
