another painting....

Remember Devil Ducks? Well anyway, they were pretty popular at one point. My mom used to collect them. They have all different kinds of devil ducks. Since I haven't painted in about a couple of weeks, I decided to paint on of these. This was actually pretty hard to paint. There really wasn't too much lighting except for a faint cool light coming from the side of it. Painting a cool yellow light is a little odd because you don't want the color looking washed out. The duck was also mostly in gray tones which is super annoying to deal with. I spent a little bit longer than I thought I would be painting it and I'm still not entirely satisfied with it. I haven't painted in a while because I have been busy learning other things. I've been brushing up on my Dreamweaver and CSS/HTML skills incase I need it for my job. I've gotten a lot better at it and learned a lot about HTML and I'm actually going to try and teach myself Javascript.
In the mean time, I just started taking another Flash/Actionscript class. This one is a bit more advanced but it hasn't been too bad so far. The next two to three classes will be more of a review so that will def be helpful. I finally learned how to create a custom scrollbar. You can view it on http://iantopple.posterous.com/ I I'll be doing Flash experiments on there so def check it out.
 I also just started a new job. It's a part time graphic design job at a company not far from home. This has been my second week. So far things have been working out and the work environment is a lot better than my last job. That's about it for now. More postings soon....
