Friday's Are Sometimes Blue | COLOR CHALLENGE : Blue, Silver, and White Friday (7.16.21)

Welcome back everyone. Hope you're getting ready for the weekend. It's been raining almost every day for the past month. So today's blue day is right in line with how I'm feeling for my daily Color Challenge.

In looking for blue, silver, and white colors today, I want to share images that are dramatic and somber. What better way than cloudy to represent these feelings.

In addition to my own personal photos, I also design digital images. I found three digital drawing programs that I like to work with.

MY PERSONAL PHOTO INVENTORY

Since it's been overcast in my area for several week, I've been able to capture numerous images of the stormy sky. I love taking photos of cloud patterns.

APOPHYSIS 2.09

With the Apophysis 2.09 Fractal Rendering program, I can design fractals. As you know, a fractal is an image created utilizing mathematical coordinates. The program uses a grid that contains triangles for your use in maneuvering the coordinates. Moving the coordinates to different locations results in a new image.

Once you design the fractal, the flames have to be rendered in order to create the image. You're now finally able to save the fractal.

I love the fractal design below. It looks like ice crystals.

Bomomo

In working with Bomomo to produce abstract images, the unique drawing tools are fun. Each tool provides a set of specific patterns with varying colors that change on different moves. If you want to fully grasp how powerful the tools are, practice is the key. You'll be able to produce images in the form of circles, diagrams, hexagons, and other patterns.

Nvidia Gaugan AI Digital Drawing Program

In working with the Nvidia Gaugan AI Digital Drawing program, I'm able to utilize the program online. I don't have to download it. The drawing canvas is where I enter my brushstrokes. The program interprets those brushstrokes and produces digital images. The brushstrokes represent features such as rivers, seas, water, sky, clouds, mountains, trees, flowers, bushes, rocks, bridges, buildings, houses, and platforms. These are only a few of the features at your disposal.

Below are a few of my digital drawings. I've learned how to produce the images for clouds, the sky, water, and mountains to create the blue, silver, and white colors found in these elements.

I hope you like my Friday images. If you'd like to learn about any of the program mentioned here, let me know.

The Color Challenge is an awesome Community that allows you to post twice a day images in your collection that represent the assigned colors for each day of the week. On the Community page, I took the liberty of copying the different colors for each day so that I could share them with you in case you decided to participate in this fun challenge of locating pictures that match the particular color.
