Retouching Artist

Recently I came upon this book when I was reading the book Photo Retouching with Adobe Photoshop. So what does this Retouching artists do. Normally artists start from scratch whereas retouching artist starts with a finished product that has a flaw and does work on it that no one knows that it has been retouched. So it seems a interesting profession. Well, I am going through this book, so you will be knowing more about the techniques soon.

    • Knitting

    As promised, I could not update this art section. I just don't have the time or resources to post in this section. I am quite busy with other sections. I have not done any progress in learning drawings and paintings. Many times I got the necessary books from library to start practicing and I am very sorry to say that I had to return the books without reading or practising drawings.
    So I thought instead of posting my own tutorials why not post some resources which you will find useful. So here comes the first resource for knitting
    So while browsing, I found site http://knitting.about.com that is really a good site. There is an article that helps you knit your sock for your ipod. If you have some time to spare do visit this site.

    Art and Artists


    So really what I hav March 31, 2005
    I do not know when I started longing to make drawings and paintings. When I was in higher secondary school sometimes I felt the urge to draw or sketch something. This urge would be more when I had very less time to do. Now a days I have lots of free time, I know I have to start learning drawing professionally but as my interests keep varying every now and then, I start on a new thing and spend time on it. Last year, I got some books from library, I wanted to make a sweater for myself. I got all the material and started working on it but soon I realized I am losing interest in making it and I have not touched it since many many months. It is safely kept away so that I won't take it and start working on it. Whatever I see, I want to do. If I hear a musician play an instrument, the first thing I would like to do is buy the instrument and start learning it. But soon this goes off and again I start a new hobby. My latest hobby is to start making some sketches and do some drawings. I will be posting the details f what I am doing in the art world in this section. So please be here as often as possible, so that you too can learn along with me. I will be featuring some well-known artists and links to their art work here.
