More Moths

Following on from my previous post experimenting with the Swallowtail Moth, I've been playing around with a different species. This time I chose the Elephant Hawk Moth (again this is what I got from google, so correct me if I'm wrong).  

Starting off with a few more from the previous moth:

And continuing with newer experiments, I made a different kaleidoscope pattern using a different moth. By copying, reflecting and layering the same image repeatedly I created this pattern; and then played around with layering further and photo manipulation:

Using the pattern above and the black and white pattern from my previous post I combined the two, to  create these further variations:

More Experiments.

Here is another example of my experiments for the day.

Experimenting...

Recently I came around to buying myself CS6 Creative Suite, after many, many and many more free trials I realised it was about time to purchase the real deal. 

I have always wanted to experiment more with digital illustration and, with nothing to do for the day I spent a few hours doing so - playing around with digital illustration and photo manipulation on a few of my own images. Getting to grips with the software beyond my usual perimeters alongside learning how to adapt to my new Wacom tablet (the first I have ever used). Nothing to impressive here, but I'm sure with practise and by incorporating my own hand drawn illustrations I can begin to develop.
