A conglomeration

Recommended Posts

With Photo, turned the image of a perfectly lovely adult wooden elephant into a baby, deleted some happy children, repaired his trunk, gave him a curved top of his head, and lost him in a tangle of undergrowth, thanks to @StuartRc's "Shy" assets, @firstdefence's "Light Rays by Dex", some swipes with one of the new Luminance brushes, some tricky(?) use of the Liquify Persona to create the grooves on a new front left leg, and some utterly failed attempts to delete the horizontal lines on the legs.  By the time the border was in my sights, I had sundry layers sliding all over the place -- grouped or not -- so I left the black border superimposed with the grouped layers.  (Picasso, or somebody else.)  Anyway, it just goes to show that although somebody (me) without a smidge of artistic talent can learn to do all sorts of awful things with genius software, the genius software cannot make somebody an artist.   I hope the talented people who created these extraordinary elephants pictured in today's "Times" won't mind.

Art can be very subjective, I've seen art by masters that I would put in the bin so don't beat ya self up, I've seen early art from the likes of David Shepherd and Heather Rooney that belies how good they are now but practice and a desire to learn have made them some of the best artists in the world.

The point I'm making is nobody was instantly good, there was a progression of skill.

Observation is always a good start for an artist.

Thank you so much for the link, @StuartRc.  Although I don’t have the room for one of these beautiful wooden elephants I have just sent a donation in his place to the organization.  If my very amateurish efforts — resulting in your website link — could be the catalyst for others to help save these magnificent animals and to make their lives more bearable, it would be one of the best things I have ever done.  The story of “Bandoola” is wrenching.  Two true elephant stories that happened during my years living in India/Pakistan are awe-inspiring.  Elephants are majesty in motion.
