(ENG/ESP) Let's Make a Collage - Round 199: We'll paint / Vamos a pintar 🎨
ENGLISH CONTENT
Hello all collage lovers! Last week, although I found out about the contest in advance, I suffered from an artistic block so great that despite my efforts, I couldn't work on anything that convinced me. So, I decided not to participate. The process of making collages generally serves as a means of relaxation for me and the least I wanted was to end up stressing myself out with something I like haha ​​Luckily this week, my participation for round #199, it was created the nice way I expected and without any hiccups:
The base image contributed by the community made me think about the scenes that are normally used when working in oils. So I thought about creating a fantastic painting, with creatures made of paintings. To do this, I opened the main image in Photoshop and searched the community gallery for images that could be used to make my composition.
I wanted it to be colorful and cheerful, so I was happy to get interesting figures, which I placed in the places that seemed most appropriate to me.
At first, @evagavilan2's matryoshka images were going to be other "drawings", part of the painting. But I thought it would be better to make them the "artists." My idea was born when, years ago, I got to share with the daughters of those who, at that time, were my classmates. Those girls always started drawing in my notebooks and I even let them, sometimes, draw with them too. Children's creativity is quite bizarre, you can find quite cute drawings even disturbing creations haha ​​Until recently, I saved all the drawings that were given to me during my interaction with children.
After I was convinced of the place that all the pieces would occupy, I placed a few effects on each image, such as shading and outlining, so that they stood out from the background.
To separate "the drawing" and "the artists", I combined the layers in those two groups and applied a filter to the drawing layer, so that it looked like it was made with a brush technique. For the lighting and frame effects, I exported the image and opened it with the Line Camera app.
Thank you very much for visiting my publication. I hope you found it interesting.
Until next time!
CONTENIDO EN ESPAÑOL
¡Hola a todos los amantes de los collages! La semana pasada, aunque me enteré con tiempo del concurso, sufrà de un bloqueo artÃstico tan grande, que a pesar de mis esfuerzos, no pude trabajar en nada que me convenciera. Asà que, decidà no participar. El proceso de realización de los collages, por lo general me sirve como medio de relajación y lo menos que querÃa, era acabar estresándome con algo que me gusta jaja Por suerte ésta semana, mi participación para la ronda #199, se creó del modo agradable que esperaba y sin contratiempos:
La imagen base aportada por la comunidad, me hizo pensar en las escenas que normalmente se usan cuando se trabaja al óleo. Asà que pensé en elaborar un cuadro fantástico, con criaturas hechas de pinturas. Para ello, abrà la imagen principal en Photoshop y busqué en la galerÃa de la comunidad, las imágenes que pudieran servirme para realizar mi composición.
QuerÃa que fuese colorido y alegre, por lo que me alegré de conseguir figuras interesantes, las cuales ubiqué en los lugares que me parecieron más adecuados.
Al principio, las imágenes de las matrioshka de @evagavilan2, iban a ser otros "dibujos", parte del cuadro. Pero pensé que mejor, eran volverlas las "artistas". Mi idea nació de cuando, hace años, llegué a compartir con las hijas de las que en esos tiempos, eran mis compañeras de cursos. Esas niñas siempre se ponÃan a dibujar en mis cuadernos y yo las dejaba, hasta en ocasiones, dibujando con ellas también. La creatividad de los niños es bastante bizarra, puedes encontrarte con dibujos bastante tiernos hasta con creaciones perturbadores jaja Hasta hace poco, guardaba todos los dibujos que me obsequiaron durante mi interacción con niños.
Luego de que estuve convencida del lugar que ocuparÃan todas las piezas, les coloqué unos cuantos efectos a cada imagen, como sombreados y delineados, para que resaltasen del fondo.
Para separar "el dibujo" y "las artistas", combiné las capas en esos dos grupos y le apliqué un filtro a la capa del dibujo, para que se viese como realizado con técnica de brocha. Para los efectos de luz y marco, exporté la imagen y la abrà con la app Line Camera.
Muchas gracias por haber visitado mi publicación. Espero que les haya parecido interesante.
¡Hasta una próxima oportunidad!

I love the purple creature in the center...looks like a melting jelly bean :) It is a fanciful, upbeat collage. As is often the case with your work, much fun.
Thank you for using LIL images in this unique art. Good luck this week, @suezoe
I also fell in love with that monster when I saw it! It was a pleasant surprise to know that my friend did it and it was the image that encouraged me to guide myself through a fun concept 😌 Thank you very much for visiting my publication, for your opinion about my collage and for your good wishes 🤗💚
