These are in-app recordings of the worm/spider/cat animations of a previous post. The worm and spider videos are designed to personalise wildlife that gets a raw deal from us through ignorance and phobic fears. For anyone wanting to manage those … Continue reading Out in the wild animations
On a mound overlooking the river Adur stand the remains of a motte and bailey (a central mound surrounded by an enclosure) 11th century castle. There’s very little left but what’s there is quietly evocative of the past. There are … Continue reading Motte and Bailey defensive ditch (project 8)
In case the relevance of this is unclear – and it certainly was to me when I started because I was dodging the actual coursework – I’m learning how to develop a narrative and to illustrate it with a few … Continue reading Procreate animations – the journey continues
This is another part of my garden, or another angle to be more precise. And I’m using a 3″ brush, something I’ve never done before. The support is A1 card, pre-used. Above is the image I was drawing on. Everything … Continue reading Under the Dome (project 8)
I have iThings and also Procreate and Procreate Dreams but never (barring the pair of love-struck eyes I found in one of the places iThings hide things) made an animation before.

Primary reference photo Adjusted reference photo (PhotoDirector) This is A1 black card prepped with black acrylic gesso. This will give me the dead-black background I need for the lit foliage, and the white areas are the base for colour underlays … Continue reading Gardenscape #1
First sketch – watercolour pencil on damp acrylic gesso. 7th August. I’m one Bambi short of a Disney at this stage! This is the bright underpainting, the network of subtext colours that will support the heavier ones to follow. All … Continue reading Gardenscape2 (project 8)
Sunglasses required for this first paint sketch! I’m laying down the light first here using pouring paint and inks for their transparency and luminosity so it’s massively vibrant! The aim is to build up the layers of foliage on this … Continue reading Landscape ‘Time tunnel’ Project 7
I think I’ve said elsewhere that, for all my years spent inhabiting and actually conducting psychological research in Second Life (SL), I had never built anything there. Astonishing then, that the need to do this came not from science but … Continue reading Building a gallery in Second Life
