ANTIC VOL. 3, NO. 1 / APRIL 1984 / PAGE 88
"Jim", a self-portrait by Jim Hood, is one of the most accomplished microscreens we've seen to date. To produce the drawing, a slide was projected onto the TV screen and traced. Embellishments were made with Micro-Painter. This is Jim's second published microscreen.
"Greece", by Chyrene Pendleton, constitutes another second appearance in Microscreens. This stark but evocative scene was also executed with Micro-Painter.
"Ancient Civilization", by Edward Bever, was also drawn with Micro-Painter. Edward submitted a series of eight sketches that show the picture's developmental path. The background was laid down first, then details were added. Edward also writes product reviews for ANTIC.
Create a microscreen with your Atari computer and see it published in ANTIC! Many techniques exist, including the use of commercial products such as Micro-Painter, Graphic Master, PAINT, Fun With Art, and Drawit.* Or you may want to use Keystroke Artist, a graphics utility program that appeared in the August 1983 issue of ANTIC. Send your creations to Microscreens, care of ANTIC, on disk, and accompany them with loading instructions and a short biographical note of yourself. Good luck!
