Digital Art with Wacom Intuous Tablet & Painter Essentials 5.
Second Set of images, since last one with landscape. I learned to use the different tools such as using images I already drew with pencil and pen. Put it as first layer. And multi layer images, used digi watercolor, and FX brush tool. This was great for expressing my description of sensory issues while in stores, much easier then drawing by hand. Including the expression of the girls. And experimenting backgrounds and discover on accident different effects and how they change the images. Helpful for future ideas.
This idea of art, I been influenced by looking at various artists, that express same type of info as mine. Along with using art challenges from online art.. Most artists do use personal stories as it is most familiar and to express to others who are not familiar with it to hope to understand and also those who are familiar with it to say, hell yea. In this case Sensory overload with asd.
The Images: Are a set, and are in a certain order, almost.
The idea of images are about my recent experience I had in a store, well sensory overloading is a constant experience but this story was more. For first few images, I try to express what a person with sensory issues.
1st image, is what is the items in store, what most people see observe the tons of stuff everywhere, many colors and styles and brands. Where does one start. Just this is overwhelming for many. the next images, I will layer on what person with sensitivity sees.
2nd image: This image I added what a person more sensitive to light would see. a combination of lights from overhead, or glares, reflections or lights from outside, door moving, etc. and sensitivity increase the intensity of light. This is best described to the looks.
Pretend image in middle, when I learn to add sound on here, I would put loud obnoxious or full of beats music going on. Can be distracting to those with sensitive hearing.
After that I would add the sounds of movements, people talking, hangers sliding on metal bars, things picked up and dropped. beeping of door when people enter or go out, sounds from cash register. and multiple people around talking. Imagine all that going on, but then up the sound to be more intense and interferes with what you see and trying to focus.
Image 3: similar to image 2, adding the lights, but the intensity of clothes and color, and maybe people walking around becomes blurs and too many vibrant colors. making hard to see what is really there. My opinion, I maybe over did it with colors.
Image 4: one of people, trying to do on digital art of face expressing hostility. and I messed with background to see effects option on program and effect to face. Even though not needed for message of work.
Image 5: Where the altercation happened. Combine with already sensory overload and having 2 girls approach with hostility accusing you of being suspicious person. And mind is blown. The obvious anxiety increase and shut down has kicked in.
