Illustration Friday 'Nourishment'

Nice and cool, wet and refreshing...
But that's enough about me, I should talk about this contribution to Illustration Friday: 'Nourishment'. I'll get right to the construction process. First, get a plastic drinking container, draw it, ink it, sign and date it. Second, scan it, open Photoshop, create layers. Clean up image, airbrush some blue on a couple of layers (random sprays) then a lil' green too, reduce some of the opacity. Follow this by using the filter 'Ocean Ripple' on airbrushed layers, Erase around cup and signature (which have been reverse selected) to let lower layers peek through, add a few details to blanks spots around cup. Flatten image.

Now, drop the dpi to 72, reduce the image size to about 5" X 4", save as a jpeg to your desktop. Close Photoshop, open Transmit, upload 'Nourishment' file to webspace, close Transmit, open browser and scoot on over to blogger 'Post' and...hey wait !

Here I Am.
Now isn't that just a lil' too real for ya ?
Go ahead, have a taste. (The straw, not me you sillies)
:-D
