Take action, and create!
I'm sharing with you my contribution to @everlove's Collaborative Art Journey..."TAKE ACTION" No. 34. In this collaboration @everlove has provided the Steemit community with the image " TAKE ACTION " to inspire our creative responses.
The process
Originally I was going to use @everlove's image as inspiration for a painting. I started sketching out a portrait in pencil that I was going to apply acrylic paint to. Then it started to snow, and then snow a bit more. The light had become too low to paint by, so I decided to develop my work digitally.
As the starting point for my collaborative artwork I took a couple of the layers from my recent digital drawing Scribble Man and applied a filter over the drawing.
For the next stage layered my portrait drawing over @everlove's image "TAKE ACTION ". I made some adjustments to colour and contrast, and then flipped the image horizontally. I deleted sections of the portrait layer so that @everlove's image would show through the face.
The next stage was to add the text 'TIME TO WAKE UP', a response to @everlove's image title " TAKE ACTION "
'TIME TO WAKE UP'
It is TIME TO WAKE UP and TAKE ACTION
