Illustration Improv - My Class Project: working at Spaghetti Warehouse - image 1 - student project

This was me playing around with more shapes. I tried to keep the square, circle, and triangle, but I changed the other shapes because I couldn't get into them. I had a hard time finding what to draw because I have a lot of things I like to do, and for my worst job experience, I don't really have one like that either. I ended up drawing a job I had when I was in my early 20s. I worked at the downtown Dallas Spaghetti Warehouse. I loved that job! My final illustration will reflect choices from this one and the cooking one.

This was a great exercise but I did struggle a bit with finding my groove. I didn't know how to make the most of the shapes and I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, but this stretched me in ways I hadn't before.

This is only one of the final images I finalized in Photoshop. I don't know if I like working in Photoshop better than working on my tablet. On my tablet, I work in Sketchbook Pro. I don't like the brushes as much as the brushes I have access to in Photoshop, but I have trouble in Photoshop because I am using a Wacom tablet and not an Intuos. Maybe soon I will upgrade to an Intuos so I can draw directly on the screen. I love Adilson Farias watercolor brushes for Photoshop.
