Photoshop biz

In our photoshop unit, we made two images, one was a frog tongue and the other was a monster pancake. I personally didn't like it because there are so many steps that when not executed can mess up your whole entire project. I do like the idea of being able to create a whole new thing with just blending and shading and mixing and matching things. My favorite of the two is the monster pancake because I liked how we could open up the pancakes and insert the mouth. The tongue and frog one was sort of hard because their was a lot of  blending the tongue color on to the frog which I thought was very time cosuming. If I had to I would recommend this project because I am sure that other people would enjoy this project. I would like to just make it my own, and actually chose what I am photoshopping.

Stencils

I had really liked this project because it was hands on and it was larger than life. I liked how my stencils sort of overlapped so the spray paints made a different color. I thought I had done a good job because it looks a lot like me. I chose these colors because they were reggae colors and all those colors go good together. I wish I could of had a better expression but it ended up being okay in the end. The hardest part of this is cutting out the stencils because it hurt my hands and the funnest part was spray painting. This was my favorite project by far this year.

Contour shoe drawing

This contour shoe drawing was rather hard because I had to draw this show at an angle and the shoe was worn down so I had to draw it with a rounded sort of shape. Also their was a lot of detail in the shoe so I had to take a lot of time in adding all this while keeping my pencil down. Overall my hardest feature was making the shoe's tongue look like it was sunken inside of it. I liked this project because I personally really like drawing shoes. Overall I liked this a lot.

Oil Pastels and Ipad

   Their is a huge difference I think between drawing these figures with oil pastels, and on the ipad. One of the big differences is that while on the ipad, you are able to blend the colors together, unlike with the pastels. Another difference is with the oil pastels, it is easier to navigate around the page easier than it is electonically. Some things that I have learnded through out this unit is how much blending can affect a painting. The dark and the lights in the picture really gives it an essence of the light source all around the painting. Instead of putting in a smiley face sun, you could just add some darks and lights and people can sense the sun is there. Overall I have enjoyed and learned a lot from this unit, but I must say that it is rather messy with the pastels.

Skeleton Cartoon

This Drawing of Bugs Bunny, I think is ok. It's not my best work but I think that the bone structure of the ribs and legs came out alright. The skull of Bugs Bunny was rather hard because I couldn't quite get down his huge jaw bone. These bones picture a real live bone set by representing, the hands, the ribs, the feet, the legs etc. Thsi drawing didn't require that much creativity because Bugs Bunny has a rather human-like figure. The only thing that I had to make up was the ears because I didn't know if there was a bone that connected it or not. But overall, I think that this was a very fun project to do.
