Skull & Crossbones (and dots!)

Skull & Crossbones (and dots!)

Oh yeah… the license…

Normally I say something like “consider it cc:by” because an Attribution license works just fine by me… but this time, I used a piece of art that was released into the Public Domain (see skull and crossbones large and the legal page for that site.)

OK, so if one piece of this total artwork is in the Public Domain, how do I license the whole piece? Can I use an Attribution license? Should I, or do I need to release it into the Public Domain? Do I use CC0? Now I need to read the CC0 FAQ

For all the work Creative Commons has done to make licensing easier, I still think there’s a long way to go…

(Also, if you have a pile of money lying around, consider donating it to them.)

Color + Lines

(consider it cc:by)

This is a strange one… I’m not even sure why I love this one… I just like the combination of the color and the lines. This is another that came from just experimenting with brushes in Photoshop and some creative layering. This is actually just a small part of a larger drawing that I really didn’t care for… except for this part of it. I need to try doing a new drawing that just uses this look…

Skeleton

Skeleton

(consider it cc:by)

I used to draw skulls and skeletons a lot… and not just in my drawing classes at UWM. If you rode a skateboard in the 1980s you may have also drawn some skulls and skeletons. I find it much easier than drawing a person with all the fleshy bits still attached.

I still want to get more comfortable with the quick sketch style on the Wacom… and of course, I’m still playing with brush styles. I should probably talk to Kevin Stohlmeyer about that.

The Chalk Look

Chalk Look

(consider it cc:by)

While playing around with the brush settings in Photoshop I ended up with something that gave a chalk-like look. I decided to go with it and did this chalk drawing. I also captured these quick screen shots of the settings so I remember how to do it in the future. The “scattering” setting is the one to look at. Obviously I’m still enjoying drawing with the Wacom tablet, and have much more exploring to do.
