This piece was done as a challenge for the PIRC Bulletin Board
WET Challenge Forum. We were provided with the picture of the
lilacs and asked to produce an edited version in any form of
our choosing. I used PhotoImpact's Effects to produce the black
and white drawing and then the rest of the picture suddenly
came to me! I used Selection Tools, Lighting Effects and the
Path and Painting Tools to achieve the finished picture.
What
graphics software do you use on a regular basis?
PhotoImpact 6 - nothing else is needed!
What
was the first graphics program you learned?
Art Dabbler by MetaCreations
What
is your all-time favorite graphics program and why?
PhotoImpact 6.... because you can do just about anything with
it and a LOT easier than with other programs! Also it has a
great back-up community on the web - especially the PIRC group.
How
long have you been working with graphics software?
About 2 years altogether - but since September 2000 with PhotoImpact.
How
do you use graphics software in your day-to-day activities?
Creating graphics for my website - and my husband's site. Also
for personal use such as stationery and greetings card, editing
photographs, etc.
What
is your best graphics tip or piece of advice?
BUY PHOTOIMPACT 6!!!!! Cultivate patience.
Where
do you get your inspiration?
From observing everything around me as closely as I can.
I made the pattern for this stained glass myself as part of
another Challenge for the PIRC Bulletin Board. I also made a
lot of the glass I used myself using photographs, PI6 and the
Eye Candy plug-in.
This was one of my first attempts to recreate a piece of furniture
we actually own at home. It was all made with the Path Tool
- except for the picture on the wall which was from a royalty-free
CD, the leaves which were downloaded from another PI site and
the roses on the pottery - which came from a free background
on the web.
The original of this was on a National Geographic CD - however
the copy is drawn freehand using the Path and Painting Tools
in PI6.
An African Unity Mask from Ghana - drawn using the Path Tools
in PI6 and wood/metallic fills. I made the background from a
stock photograph.
The clock was drawn in PhotoImpact 6 using the Path Tools and
Text Tools - using a photograph for guidance. The animation
is just two frames and was done in ULead's Gif Animator 4.
