5- Self Portrait

-

As you can deduce form the title, the self portrait its a portrait I did using a high quality image. Once again using Illustrator and the tools in it such as the brush tool, the selection tool, all color tools and blob brush was key in order to achieve what I wanted. This drawing/painting contains many colors and techniques in oder to create a 3D look in the painting. Selecting and putting the right color was essential to differentiate lighter and darker parts of the face we don't realize in our daily basis. The background was added to complete this project and create a finished and unique appearance to viewers. The portrait you are seeing know is just painting, the photo itself was taken away and just used as a guide for the use of the correct colors and lines to create this artwork.

4- Calligram

-
Image
Using a high quality selfie students were assigned to create a body of text workart. Using Illustrator and the tools in it such as selection tool, the direct selection tool, the pen tool, and all colors between other tools, we had to create specifics shapes in the photo to later fill it up with words. The words used for this calligram was based on a letter to ourselves, form the future. Words were shaped with the tools learned in class to fill out the correct spots areas with different colors to create a realistic impact. Even thou I took a good selfie I wasn't able to achieve my goal here. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to finish it. As you can see, I just reach to draw the lines for the words and just fill up most of the hair with the actual words. I almost got to finished the hair, its mostly color and words well mold up. Still I was way far behind even thou I knew I could have done a tremendous job in this one.

1- Canvas Exercise

Here we can appreciate my first achievement in Dreamweaver for my Digital Media class. These are actually two canvas exercises. The top one being the rectangle exercise and the bottom being the triangle exercise. These shapes weren't different sizes by accident, we had to create a 400px, a 300px, and a 200px for the rectangle and triangle exercise. The rules were that there shouldn't be any overlap in the shapes created and that each shape had to have a different line width, line color, and fill color. Since it was my first time using Dreamweaver I really had a hard time doing this project and spend a lot of time doing this. Coding every line, shape, and color isn't a simple thing to do for sure.

3- Spongy Character

-
Image
By far, the coolest project I had ever done. Using illustrator I selected a Sponge Bob pixel based image and try my best to draw over it to remove that pixel and poor quality of the image. Key tools like the zoom tool, selection tool, eraser tool, and all the color tools I went through every single shape Sponge Bob has to draw this non-pixel image. A key factor to achieve this and create a decent logo/character is to always zoom in objects and create lines and shapes perfectly so it can over those unwanted pixels. Also organizing and having the layers in order is a key component to not get lost and know were everything is at. Even thou its not perfect, I had a lot of fun doing this character since i'm a fun since very young.
