Leaky Bucket Digital Update



Each week I get the privilege of whipping up something to use as a sermon title slide. I often only have a few hours to pull everything together so I have to take as many shortcuts as I can. They don't give me a budget for imagery so often I use things that are floating around in the creative commons copyright arena like the original image in the above sample. I added lots of added interest to what was already there, did some basic color correction and added textures and drips and such before thinking I had changed it enough to say that it was ok to use. My favorite part of this edit was drawing and shading the drips. it's been a while since I rendered water on a surface and it was fun, though quickly done. Wish I'd had more time to work on this... but I wish that most weeks. I just have to run with the first or second idea I come up with when doing these. I'm glad that the boss has allowed me to do whatever I want on these - and that he's approved the charges for the creative suite software that makes this kind of stuff possible.

Giving credit where credit is due - the base image of the leaky bucket is located at mi9.com

Sculpture: Man's Face and a Hand

     I've been watching a lot of Ace of Clay on Youtube recently and really wanted to try some of his techniques but I wasn't at home that day.  Dad has some super soft stanky clay that he uses to work out some of his carvings and so I got into that this week. Maybe it's time to pull out my sculpture stuff again. Really do miss it - I enjoy that more than I do writing or drawing or... probably even eating LOL  Anyway... this clay was really soft stuff and it was hard to keep from smashing it or doing any real detail work - I mean, look at those ears HA!
