I apologize for being late a day, as most beginning bloggers, it’s quite a task to get everything updated. However, I’m not going to skip over my weekly inspiration. I shortened the title a bit to just MM (Mundane Monday) so it’ll be less prominent in the title. The content is what you’re looking for.
For this week, I want to share 5 blogs that I usually visit everyday for tips, inspiration, resources, and sometimes I even get sidetracked to even more leads for inspiration and more.
A day late, but I want to wish all my viewers a Happy Lunar New Years, and also a Happy Valentine’s Day. I hope everyone had a good time, and were able to spend the time with their loved ones. I got my special someone some candy, a card, and a graphic artwork that I created.
For this week’s inspiration, I decided to share something different than a video. Galleries have been making a big impact on the internet displaying lists of artworks, logos, business cards, and more. Just like a museum, these galleries contain lots of works that are inspiring and give lots of examples of different type of styles that you can reference from.
So what’s the one thing you’re good in? Graphic Design? Asset Modeling? HTML/CSS? Scripting in a certain program? What do they all have in common? They are too specific. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that. Certainly, you can find a really good job in that field if you looked really hard, however, you’re at a disadvantage already. How can you get the advantage?
It’s time to become a hybrid.

Work In Progress – Walk in the Park
One of the best parts I like about making a piece in Photoshop is not necessarily the outcome but the process it takes to get to it. I learn a lot when I can visualize somebody’s progress in creating a graphic. I always enjoy seeing work in progress because it shows you that the skills to make that piece aren’t complicated at all and art is really all about visualizing and experimenting.
Walk in the Park was probably one of my first pieces that I experimented fully with the use of stock photos and using the mask tool in Photoshop. I never knew you can blend in photos in that way so that they look seemless and natural (to an extent). Here’s my WIP on Walk in the Park (and also some notes on what I did).
