Today it was already much easier to draw my mascot from yesterday. - Despite the little joy with the triangle, it took only half the time to create the illustration below. There are still some tiny differences to the original, but this is simply a question of practice. Unfortunately I "cheated" a little bit using Photoshop for the hands behind the triangle, since the implementation for this purpose became less complicated and time consuming (It is no longer a vector file.). But this is not so important, because the triangle is just a photo and not made with Illustrator. The illustration is therefore limited by the pixels and sharpness of the triangle anyway.
New Year, New Goals!
2018! Another new year, and therefore a new opportunity to freshly set up some New Year's resolutions. Besides doing more sport, living healthier and trying to pull less all-nighters (simply the classics), my primary goals are to focus much more on popular and professional editing and design applications. - Programs I already worked with, but also programs I never ever used before. This includes graphic and web design applications, film and special effects editing software, and also, for my very first time, 2D- and 3D animation programs.
2018 will be a big year. It is going to be exhausting, nerve-wracking, challenging and desperate with sleepless nights snapping patience. But it is also going to be much more interesting, professional, diversified and creative since the last couple of years. I am positive that this year will set up a big step forward. - Reason enough to start documenting successes and projects with this blog, hoping that some posts might also be helpful for some of you, too.
Sincerely yours, and a Happy New Year,
Armin Kunz.
