Some of the things that we cover in this
course is using the arithmetic option, cheezy technique, airbrush, the
sinking feeling technique, spicing up your completed blends with
selections, grunge layer techniques, feathering technique, extensive
eraser use with my personal settings, shoebox blending, soft blending
techniques, using gradients for cool blending effects and purposes and a
little more! ha-ha
The ideas for this course came from area's that were not covered in the
Blends 1 course and from observing others trying to blend and spotting
their weaknesses.
This course is not a collection of
tutorials like you find on web sites. Tutorials are out there and
becoming more plentiful everyday as more and more people get interested
in the blending craze.
Unlike following online tutorials that
already have the solutions worked out so you can repeatedly get the same
results as everyone else, the lessons in this course are designed to
give you the beginnings of experience, skills and knowledge to make
your own blends and are designed for the true creative nature that the
graphic artist has in their heart.
You will see that throughout this course
you will do a lesson, then a lot of times you are asked to repeat the
lesson using your own choice of graphics/tubes and see what you can come
up with on your own. Sometimes it is repeating the lesson basically step
for step and sometimes it will require you breaking away from that
lesson and going out on your own to get practice and get your mind into
that creative experimentation and expression. Your completed results
will be reviewed by an instructor that will be assigned to you. Our
instructor's will give you feedback and tips along the way with a good
serving of encouragement to help create the proper learning atmosphere
for you.
