Feet

I have to admit this was a stretch as a topic. OK it was horrible. I was afraid to check any one else’s ideas. Because I was so stuck I figured I would freeze up. I finally got the idea of doing the kids who run bare foot in marauding packs around the old town.

So Photoshop challenge for motivation… I’ve been working in illustrator because I teach it and I like it. But I’m not a real fan of the flat vector look. So I started exporting the layers into Photoshop – then creating custom “paper” textures. At first I was making small repeating fills based on building textures for 3D. But I’ve been working at A2 [23 x 16 give or take] and the repeat was too obvious. So for this piece I worked at 5x7 @ 300ppi and built all of the “paper” to size using only the filters in Photoshop and elements exported from Illustrator.

Best, kate.
