Today I added some of the media elements to my wiki. I also changed the look of my wiki because I thought the default look was boring. So far I have only 7 pages, but I may add more. I'll have to see what other elements I can add to the wiki.

I'm really happy with the progress I've made so far. It really helps that I've had previous experience with wikis. I still have to upload some pen and ink pictures, but that won't take long. Right now I only have two pen and ink pictures to give as examples, but I think I'll do some research and make a new page to add photos from the internet so I can provide more examples.

Just uploaded my first pen and ink drawing before going to work. Now I just have to draw some more and add those photos.

Uploaded a revision of the cat pen and ink drawing. I also uploaded my flower value drawing piece. I still have to record something and upload it to the site yet to extend the media connection to the web. I'm still not sure what I should talk about and I'm not sure what lesson I should record myself doing since I already have a couple of videos of drawing lessons from the internet.

Good thing I went through all of my pages because I found that some of my drawing pictures were changed to a picture that was uploaded and happened to have the same number. It's all fixed though, so it's a good thing I check my work.

I started a page that shows the pieces that I've been working on. I think it will give a good idea of how the process of drawing takes time and that it's a slow process. I've also inserted links on each page that will take the viewer to whatever page they want to at any time.

I just uploaded a bunch of different drafts of the cow piece that I've been working on. I'm almost done with the main part of the piece and then I'll go in and add a few more details. I looked at the piece last night and there are some places that just stick out on the page instead of it flowing from one spot to the other. I'll work on it and then show my instructor tomorrow and see what she says about it.

I'm almost done with the wiki assignment, I'll I have to do is record something and then upload it to my wiki. I'm thinking I'll put it on the home page and make it kind of inspirational or something. I don't know I'll see what I want to do.

Just got done figuring out how to record a track of myself talking and how to embed videos onto my wiki. I love it when I can figure stuff out on my own. :)

Well back again and adding things to my wiki. I'm having a lot of fun with the Doodling and Noodling lessons in my Drawing II class. I also like the add-on project we've been working on because I'm doing a piece with predator eyes. It's been really fun now all I have to do is think of something for my original add-on piece.
