At the beginning of the month, Ayala Art set out a challenge to create 29 faces in 29 days. I was definitely very interested, but knew that the craziness and uncertainty of my life at the moment wouldn't allow daily posting, so sadly I didn't sign up.
In the middle of February, Melisa from Toad in a Boat created a face using Scribbler and I was intrigued! Well, once I used it I was hooked! Have you tried it? It is quick, easy, and so much fun! (The perfect creative outlet for my currently hectic life.)
Here is a quick rundown in case you haven't seen it before:
Draw a picture. (I like to do a quick drawing using my finger on my laptop touchpad to keep it fast and loose.)
Click "Done Drawing", choose your scribbler settings, and click "Start Scribbler".
Watch it "scribble" before your very eyes - this part is mesmerizing!
Click "Pause Scribbler" when you think it's finished OR if you would like to add something else to your drawing...
(I decided to add whiskers to my original drawing.)
Start "scribbling" again.
Voila!
Doing these faces in scribbler turned out to be therapeutic... A very low-stress, easy peasy way to relax and create after a stressful day. (And, before I knew it I had 29 faces!)
Ooooh, I'll have to try it out. Great faces. I wanted to join too but things are very hectic out this way right now so I didn't. This seems like fun and I will go directly there. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI went there and loved it. Wow! I plan on using it and adding it to my favorites. How did you get all your faces in a square? Also, how did you get them over here?
ReplyDeleteHi Gloria!
DeleteI just remembered I am able to reply to each comment individually now - cool!
I created a collage of my faces using the online photo program picnik. But, picnik is closing in April so Geri from myheartartbygeri.com recently suggested trying a new photo program called http://www.befunky.com/ - I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.
If you are wondering how to save your images from the scribbler program, I used a program called ScreenHunter to take a "screen shot" then saved it to my computer.
I hope that helps :)
