Photoshop & Illustrator

 

                I would say that a lot of my work is varied. It doesn’t revolve around the same thing as some of my work. When I create, I try not to make anything too similar. I make sure nothing looks exactly the same. To teach myself how to draw, I would copy different types of pictures to broaden my horizons.  I learned not only how use different art styles, but also how to use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. 

            Apparently I am very good at both. In Photoshop I learned another way of improving my pictures.  I also learned how to create highlights and shadows coming from different directions. My people no longer look flat, as though it was attached to the page. The characters pop out of the page instead.

  

              I also learned how to change the colors of an original picture to a different a different color. In the picture of the girl above, everything but the feather in her hair was black and white. To get the rid of the words, I used the clone tool. Using the area around the words I was able to hide them. For the colors, I had to do the picture peace by piece and carefully layering everything each piece.

             In Illustrator I learned how to recreate objects. The perfume bottle was by far one of my best. I literally had to take apart the original and put it back together. When I finished I had some missing parts, but I had to give myself credit. It looks almost like the original.
