REPOSTOBER, day 10: Environment studies (2015)

2014 was a hard yet productive year: I switched from SAI to PS and started to learn how to draw environments and all that while studying in uni as an interior designer. My brain felt like mashed potatoes. I hated myself. I hated my art.

Now, after almost ten years, looking back at the works I did back then, I see that some of them were actually pretty cool. I just coundn't see it at a time. I was a twenty years old girl who wanted to have the same level and the same knowlendge that the artists I admired had. I just couldn't acknowledge that the artists I admired had at least ten years of experince in the industry while me being a confused young adult who had chosed a wrong university.

I should have been proud of myself yet I was so sad and disappointed and bitter that I almost quit art. But I didn't. And all the hard work I put in polishing my skill actually started paying off.

Back then, I was absolutely sure that I such at drawing backgrounds. I hated these. HATED.

Now I look at these works and I see how DRASTICALLY my art improved in a single year. Studying in Uni was hard. Studying art at the same time was INSANE. And even now, after nine years!! of hard work I still think that these studies were kinda cool.

it's a bit like falling down the stairs in a really tall building.

like you can fall down a certain amount of stairs until hitting the clearing between. and when you go through it and you see the stairs. and you hope. this time i am not going to trip. but you do. and you just have to bear with counting every metaphorical step with every metaphorical bone in your body but ALSO with your head. the inside of your head. counting down the stair you hit until there's a clearing.

and you lie on the clearing. bleeding like you've been stabbed. but at least you're not falling anymore. until you reach another set of stairs. you have no choice in the matter really. you have to go on. and you know how awful it would feel. but you can't exactly linger on the clearing. it won't let you. so you fall again. and the only thing you can hope for is the knowlendge that it ends. in a couple of days it ends.

and you catch your breath. and you lie there bleeding. but you're happy. you're happy you're not falling anymore. you're free for a while.

this metaphor is really on the nose and clunky. but i keep dreaming of endless stairs since i were very very small. it's one of the only things i got from Zero. his nightmares.

and while i am falling i am relying on my absolute knowledge. that eventually this ends. BUT WHAT IF IT FUCKING DOESN'T??? wHAT IF IT STICKS AND I FEEL THAT WAY FOREVER??? SHOULDN'T I JUST DIE ALREADY WHILE I AM FEELING LIKE THAT AND FEELING READY ENOUGH TO JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY??? LIKE I SURE CAN GO FOR A SPOT OF SUICIDE RIGHT ABOUT NOW. AND WHAT IF THIS TIME IT'S ACTUALLY NOT ENDING??? AND I AM CTUALY SAVING MYSELF FROM IT CONTINUIN ON FOREVER??? HUH??? HUH???

god. this sucks. every time there's more certainty. like that keeps happenening. the same time every time. keeps ending. the same time every time. i am sure in a couple of days i'll be fine. it's always the same. BUT WHAT IF ONE TIME IT IS NOT THE SAME??? god. fucking. end me end me end me end me end me end me end me end me end eme l;ljdal'vA

This morning, I asked the cards "How can I see myself in a different light?" I drew the Queen of Swords from The Pocket of Peers Tarot. 🗡 I tend to hold on to this negative perception of myself. I shove it away, but it always comes back and thoughts repeat in my mind: I'm too fat, too ugly, not good enough, not talented enough, I'm not kind enough. I rally against these thoughts, going to war against myself because my heart knows that none of these things are true. The pen (or keyboard) is my Sword, the paintbrush my lance. I need to cut away these thoughts and embrace my skls and my craft. 🗡 It will take time to cut the thoughts away, but the Queen is fierce and a woman who knows her mind every facet of it. As I cut these thoughts away, I will try to find out where the seed came from that made th thoughts blossom. 🗡 I need to lose myself in words and paint so that I can find out what I an truly capable of and sparkle on. 🗡 #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarottribe #pocketofpeerstarot #QueenofSwords #knowthyself #knowlendge #power #mentalbreakthrough #cutaway #embracemysize #celebratemyflaws #findmypath #findmyself #sparkleon #shinebright #likeadiamond #cardoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CR8sH3JnsRk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Colourisation Piece

History At first, colourisation was done by hand. But by the 1950s, colour film became available which replaced it as the primary means of recording images. However, it remained a recognised technique. It was used to add colour to both black and white films and static images.  Below is an example of colourisation by Doug Banks (http://www.colourisehistory.com).  The photograph shows 5 british soldiers from the first world war. 

Reissuing black and white films became popular but was also seen by some as a form of vandalism. Today, digital colourisation is used to produce images that are photorealistic (entire image is coloured), abstract (distorted perspecitive on reality) and symbolic (selective colourisation). 

Production

I took an image of a flower that would benefit from selective colourisation as the original image didn’t do the flower justice. I decided to make the petals yellow (with a slight blend between the stamen and the petals) with a contrasting green stem and a dark red stamen. The colourised image was created in photoshop. I used a sepia filter over the top of the entire image to dull the colours slightly. Besides that, I decreased the vibrancy of the flower in order to mute the colours more. As well as that, I also decreased the opacity of the coloursation layer to further enhance the picture. 

Evaluation

I am pleased with the way that the whole image has brought the flower to life. In particular, the bleeding of the colours between the petals and the stamen which make the picture particularly realistic.

If I undertook this task again, I would choose a photo with a wider range of colours as that would allow me better demonstrate my knowlendge and skills of colourisation.

My peers reviewed an earlier version and suggested to reduce the vibrancy of the colours in flower as it had looked too unnaturally bright. This final version has been liked for the use of additional skills such as applying the sepia filter and creating the colour gradient.

Dungeon hunter 5 PIECE OF KNOWLENDGE #EXERT

This morning, I asked the cards "How do I embrace change?" I drew the Queen of Swords from the Pocket of Peers Tarot Deck. 🗡 She is full of thoughts. She holds a pen and it is her Sword, given power by her mind. Surrounded by knowledge that she has gained, this Queen knows her mind and what it is capable of. She merely has to embrace the power she holds within her mind and let it out through her mind. She is intelligent, intuitive ane she is a teacher and a writer. 🗡 What strikes me most is the power in this card. The Queen of Swords looks forward, ready to take on what comes her way, knowing that it is all part of the journey. There is power in choosing to look forwards rather than be held back by what came before. In order to embrace change, I have to face what comes my way with an open mind rather than try to avoid the possibilities that change can bring. 🗡 I have to know my mind if I am to sparkle on. 🗡 #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarottribe #pocketofpeerstarot #QueenofSwords #knowthyself #knowlendge #power #mentalcalm #moveforwards #teacher #writer #intuition #sparkleon #shinebright #likeadiamond #cardoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CRBgBA4njOE/?utm_medium=tumblr

This morning, I asked the cards "What do I need to remember?" I drew the Queen of Swords from The Star Spinner Tarot. She symbolizes knowing your words and using them wisely. 🗡 She clutches a bouquet of red and white roses and petals are falling from her lips. A snake is curled about her shoulders. To me, the roses symbolize grace and the snake is truth. She had begun to eat the roses, petals falling from her lips. 🗡 She looks like she is part of the forest because of the dress she is wearing. Indeed it looks as if a path is leading into her grasp. I sense the wildness of her that rides below the surface of her skin. This Queen can be sharp with her tongue and her words. Though she speaks truth, she can do so in a very direct way. They are a writer, a teacher and they are highly intelligent and self aware. 🗡 When I look at her, I am reminded that I need to remember that my words hold power and I must use then wisely. I must also remember that my words and my mind are powerful. I can't sell myself or my abilities short. I need to embrace everything that I'm capable of if I am to sparkle brightly. 🗡 #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarottribe #starspinnerstarot #QueenofSwords #powerfulmind #powerfulwords #knowthyself #knowlendge #writer #wild #wilderness #spiritualaf #sparkleon #shinebright #likeadiamond #cardoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CPAv1GunNoo/?utm_medium=tumblr

This morning, I asked the cards "How do I sparkle today?" After yesterday, I could use a little sparkle. I drew the 2 of Cups, the Sage, and the 3 of Wands from The Naked Heart Tarot. What gorgeous cards for today! 🌟 The 2 of Cups shows me two hearts. They are reaching out to each other and have formed a bond. Even their Cups are joined together, linked by the filigree between them. The bond that I share with my Husband is sacred and so important to me and my well being. The spark that started as a seed between us has grown and he is a light in my life. More than this, when I look at this card, I am driven to think of self-love, of taking a moment to love myself after yesterday, and every day. I have to love myself, too. 🌟 The Sage greets me. His eye is open right where the third eye would be and he asks me to accept the book of knowledge that he is gifting me with. It's presented on the end of a stalk that has grown from the ground and once I take the book, I wonder how high it will grow. There is knowledge and growth in this card. It asks me to connect to my higher self and to accept this gift of knowledge. It will help me develop a stronger relationship with my spirit and myself. I can't wait to see how I grow. 🌟 The 3 of Wands are alight with fire. They sit like a portal to another journey, alive with light and possibility. This card is asking me where I'd like to go, what I'd like to accomplish. Will I stay where I am, or will I step through the Wands and go towards the light? Sometimes, it's frightening to step into the unknown and uncertainty, but it's so necessary. Not everything can stay the same, otherwise there is stagnation. I have to listen to my spirit and decide to move forward. The journey will be part of the fun. Sparkle on! 🌟 #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarottribe #nakedhearttarot #growth #direction #knowlendge #love #selflove #bond #lifedream #spatkleon #spiritualaf #shinebright #likeadiamond #cardoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CH2vnF2ndxe/?igshid=1gk491mwy4mfp

This evening I asked the cards "What did I learn today?" I drew Six of Paper: Glue and The Library from The Threadbound Oracle. When I look at these cards, I'm reminded of the healing journey that I've been on lately. I've been trying to learn what I can from past mistakes and let them go. I've been healing and mending by looking through my history and the stories that I've told and go forward with the knowledge that healing is a journey and every step matters. #tarotreadersofinstagram #oraclecards #threadboundoracle # healing #knowlendge https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwXY5onxU1/?igshid=1ml3dfot8x7h4
