I've been interested in using Night Cafe to enhance drawings. This would help me create unique creatives for my blurt posts.
I've created ten images so far which I put in this Night Cafe Collection
My thought was that I would put the drawing on Verify Your Brain and the enhanced picture on Blurt. I seem to average a dollar a post on that other platform and a penny a post on Blurt.
Technically, the enchanced image and the drawing are two separate images.
Is this an abuse of Blurt?
Drawing a Camera
Yesterday's #inktober prompt was #camera. Since I had to run errands all day long I thought I would just skip it.
Anyway, I thought about trying a quick sketch of a huge camera taking a picture of a tiny stick figure.
About ten minutes after midnight I thought I would just try the sketch. 37 minutes later I had the sketch below.
I got the perspective wrong. I really messed up the lens hood and the lens is at a different angle than the camera.
Despite these minor problems, the drawing that is sitting on my desk looks okay.
Now for the problem. For some odd reason I was completely unable to get a decent picture of my drawing. The white balance was way off. The white of the page was a dim grey. The graphite of the pencil and the pitch black of the ink came off as a 50% grey.
I tried adjusting the white balance with software to little luck.
The picture below is the best I could muster.
I was able to improve the white balance in the top image.
It takes me a long time to create a post worthy image. If I could lower the time needed to draw an image to an hour or two; then I might be able to create more Blurt posts.
