I have been trying to blend my two passions for both graphic design and graphic arts together to be able to make some super unique projects that blow people away. Blending two types of art is hard. It has taken a lot of time to get used to and to adapt. This has come with a lot of challenges. Blending projects can be incredibly challenging. However, in the end, can be very gratifying. I think that some of my best projects came from me blending the two. Before even really knowing what graphic design was. I was already digitally painting/drawing so being able to blend the two is super cool and fun. Being able to use one of my skills to improve my work.
I make all my art in photoshop first, using a plethora of different brushes and techniques unique to that program. Afterward, I bring it into Illustrator to do last-minute touch-ups. Also to turn my work into a vector so I can use it for all different purposes. This is all a part of blending two types of art; it gives the product a cool and unique look.
My future goals involve me using my graphic design and my graphic art skills, I see myself hopefully working by the beginning of the summer. I also see myself working on hundreds of projects in the next few years. I also see myself improving. My work from over a year ago does not even compare to the work I am doing now.
Blending two types of art styles because it makes the thing you’re working on unique. It also makes each piece and project special. Of course, I still need improvement, especially in Illustrator but that’s going to come with time and experience. Once I’ve mastered using both photoshop and illustrator, my illustrations will hopefully blow people away.
