"Melissa Merritt's Digital Portfolio"
 
I like to draw things on the computer as well as with a pencil. I was wondering whether I should put some of these under the digital portfolio or the fashion design portfolio, but I decided to put them here.

This first one is a bold dress design that I drew on Paint Shop Pro 7 using the freehand line under the draw tool, with a bit of curve tracking to make it smooth. I drew the face with the paintbrush tool, sometimes just pixel by pixel.

I have a couple more digital drawings that are better than some of these, but I haven't finished them yet.

Here's another one I did the same way. The dress is supposed to look a bit medieval.

This is one of my favorite dress designs. I copied it a bit from the Regency style of clothing. I was going to draw a person wearing it, but I decided it looked good enough without it.

I copied this dress from a photo but changed it a bit.

Here are 4 different versions of a drawing. I think I like the last one the best.

This is the last I'll post here for a while. This is an illustration for a children's book I'm writing. I don't know if I'll ever finish it or get it published (ha ha), but I'm having fun, anyway.

(It doesn't look quite as good after shrinking it from it's former size.)

Oh, I forgot this one.... It's a drawing I did for my fan site for the Little Men series, copying it after the actress, Jennifer Wigmore, who played Meg. I used a free web-page background for the wallpaper and a wood pattern that comes with Paint Shop Pro 7 for the floor. The rest I drew like my other ones, with the draw and paintbrush tools. - It didn't do too well in the shrinking process, but hopefully you get the idea.

Here's a closeup, too.

   Quite a collection of work you've got here... the fashion designs are my favourite . Clean use of forms and colour (esp. toning). Even reminds me of the Cinderella-like attempts I used to do as a small kid.

Looking forward to more...
