Angela's Caricatures On Holiday And At Home - And How To Rotate Them

In February 2019 I went on Susan Alison's art course at Writers' and Artists' Holiday at Fishguard in Wales.

Self-portrait drawn from memory with outline in black pastel. I remembered I had:

1 Blue eyes, 

2 Blonde hair, 

3 A wide smile or my mouth wide in repose, 

4 Red clothes. 

Later corrected using a mirror. I had forgotten I had 

1 A fringe! 

2 My eyebrows were not each an arc but had a kink in the middle. 

3 Finding and adding a darker yellow pastel enabled me to make the hair longer, varied in colour and more wavy.

4 The necklace should be a neat curve. Next time I shall draw around a saucer, or teacup, depending on the size of the drawing.

Hey, ho, this picture is inserted into my post not upside down, but sideways. What can I do to turn it? 

In wordpress this would be easy. In blogger there is no symbol to click on. You have to go back to your photo editor and load up the new version of the picture to blogger.

Go into HTML (to the right of compose in blogger.com).

Alter the numbers for the size and shape and a plus or minus sign.

When I can get my head around this, I'll do it and demonstrate it to you.

Saving and Sharing Your Drawing From iPad to Phone, Laptop and Instagram

If you have created a drawing on an iPad in an Apple store, or on your own iPad, you may want to save it and transfer it to your mobile phone or laptop and then share it. How?

You can transfer it via a bluetooth connection to your phone.

I had joined Instagram on one of my devices, but had to rejoin it for the other device.

I sent my photo to a website but it arrived sideways and with the artist's signature partly missing.

Once the photo was loaded up, I could not change it. I had to delete it. Send it to my laptop. I had it in downloads. I slid it across to iPhoto. I then changed the direction, made it smaller so my signature was visible, and created more contrast.

Because I was in a workshop which was coming to an end, I had to work quickly. If I had had more time I would have achieved a better result, as you could if you spent time.
