“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
There are some things in Photoshop that once I see I have to try. I’ve known about Michael Oswald’s work for a while and decided I’d try my hand at ‘robotisizing’ myself. I think I’d prefer to work with some of the models that he used in his photo manipulations but a self-portrait as a starting point will have to do. The process is fairly easy, just a case of sketching where you want the skin pieces laid out (as a guide) and then working to that guide building up the light and dark shading/lighting elements. I think once you’ve got the technique down it’s down to practise and experimentation to see how far you can go with it!
