Notebook drawing

the missing link

This is what I did in class on saturday. It was done in Corel painter, with mostly oils. I believe I did some impasto, and used the pen and felt pen features. And yes, "The Messing Link" is a play off "The Missing Link", so I attempted to give it a prehistoric look. I was going to make it look imprinted into the ground, like an asteroid had hit the earth or something. But, oh my gosh, this in itself, took quite some time.

I started it in Photoshop. And drew the letters in a normal perspective,and then used the transform tool. Which was a life saver. I remember at the time that I was drawing just the basic outlines, we hadn't gotten the Wacom tablets yet and I wasn't using a mouse. Anyways, long story short, transform saved my life, because I was getting pissed having to draw it with my finger on that little square sensor.
