Gratuitous Painting of Bob Prezkovic

Made with Gimp - Lately I've tried to use Krita, then because I couldn't really do anything that didn't look like blobs and splotches ; out of frustration I switched to mypaint and did that little sketch - because my feeling at the time was that I had completely lost any abilities and wouldn't be able to make art ever again ... that little sketch was made in less than 5 mn and restored my faith, then I tried something very ambitious involving a gigantic labyrinth of cubicles filled with little people trapped  and acting in various ways to escape their little space - it was really fun, and then it happened the system started to feel slow, then very slow, a little slower, then it seems to halt, then the mouse cursor was barely moving ... I waited around 10mn and gave up ... I had to force shutdown and lost that drawing.

Then I spent 2 days sulking and won't even start the computer, and finally today I launched Gimp
and made this painting above, it's Bob and he's apparently awkwardly adorable.
His T-shirt says "Fnück".

But that last crash, it was surreal ... was it KDE ?! I only use this environment for the last 2 weeks (before that I only used gnome, then MATE), so far I liked it ...

Se perdre dans les details

Je vois souvent des petit poster de motivations qui disent en gros « Il faut dessiner, même si vous avez pas envie, même si l'inspiration est pas la, dessiner quand même »

C'est un peu une (connerie) exageration parce que dessiner c'est d'abord quelque chose qui vient du cœur ; comment on pourrait rester 12 heures sur un dessin, si ça venait pas du cœur ? Et pourquoi se forcer ?! l'inspiration vient (elle prends son temps parfois, mais elle vient).

Après avoir goûter au pixel-art, avoir fait un petit bout de chemin avec Gimp, je me suis mis a myPaint parce qu'il est simple et centrer sur le trait. C'est pour cela que je démarre une petite série d'illustrations très fouillée – qui permet de se perdre dans les détails, cela a beaucoup d'avantages.

Mais ça risque de tuer ma petite tablette wacom...
