Left my place at around 6:10am.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting went really well. But there was a section of the meeting that had very little to do with me. There was a bit of a tussle between the client and one of the other service providers.<\/p>\n<p>So I decided to bite my tongue. I&#8217;ve contracted to Blue Moon on this one, and we&#8217;re there to supply content, and I&#8217;m doing the creative direction on it, as well as writing it.<\/p>\n<p>This means that it&#8217;s not appropriate for me to stick my nose in when the bickering starts.<\/p>\n<p>Which left me to play with my tablet pc. I was taking notes in Microsoft OneNote, and I had doodled Geoff, the client, in black lineart. While the tussle was happening, I decided to export the pic from OneNote into ArtRage, via CorelDraw, so that I could do some colour work on it.<\/p>\n<p>This is the result.<\/p>\n<p>When we finally broke for lunch, I popped it onto a memory stick for Geoff, and handed it to him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Oh, no!&#8217; he said. &#8216;No! I don&#8217;t like it at all!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Graham (from Blue Moon) said, &#8216;Better not show that to your wife, Geoff. She&#8217;ll fall in love with you all over again.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/royblumenthal\/576420726\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1023\/576420726_58ab10f46e.jpg?resize=363%2C500\" alt=\"2007-06-20 Shekha\" height=\"500\" width=\"363\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"flickr-yourcomment\">Shekha also started off as a doodle in the same client presentation. She was also distinctly unflattered by the lineart version.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the process I followed in making the Geoff pic. So I thought I&#8217;d give it a shot on this one.<\/p>\n<p>Really had fun with it.<\/p>\n<p><i>This painting was made on my Toshiba Tecra M4 tablet pc. The lineart was doodled in MS OneNote. I copied and pasted it into CorelDraw. Then exported the image as a jpeg.
