I was listening to a John Mayer song called "Wheel" while I was making this picture. I first started with a mixture of blues, purples, and black as the background. I smudged it all together so that it would look real. Then, I added some clouds, but not too much because its nighttime. Then, I moved on to the notes on a different layer. I went online, and found the sheet music of the song, and drew the notes on the lines that I made. Then I added some moonlight. And the yellow at the bottom of the screen is suppose to be like a city glowing, but I dont think that I did a very good job, but I did my best! I added the text with the tool on gimp and just messed with the color and the font.
Very nice. The text is a nice addition to it.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get the impression of city lights, but to me, the yellow being smudged up towards the moon really gave me the impression of rising up - implying everyone's right to fly! And I like the blending of different medias - text, sheet music, and background.
ReplyDeletehmmm, thats a good point...
ReplyDeleteI really like the sheet music. Did you use Shift-Paintbrush to get the lines straight?
ReplyDeleteyes, that's exactly what i did. i just made the brush small so that the lines wouldn't be over powering.
ReplyDeleteGot it. Thanks.
