Living Landscape

When this assignment was brought to us, I was very skeptical. I had no idea what I wanted to do. However I knew I desired a night scene, so I just started adding, duplicating, and altering. I worked with body curves, hair, tongues, arms, ears, and muscle cells. I felt I needed to get the light and shadow correct, so I spent a lot of time on that too. It turned out very cool and looks sort of real!

My Self Portrait

I consider my Self Portrait Project to be my most successful one. I had to decide what clothes I was going to wear and what background I wanted to use. I wore a plaid shirt because I knew it would be complicated, but I wanted to challenge myself. I choose to create my own background as a graffiti/splatter painted look with two of my favorite colors that match my skin tone. Using Adobe Illustrator, I picked to mostly use the blab brush to pigment my skin. I then utilized all the different paintbrushes to get the curly texture of my hair down. Overall, this project made me realize I definitely have some green going on within my face and I'm amazed at what this software can do.

I found this project pretty interesting. Making a black and white photo have realistic colors in it was a challenge, but also pleasurable. I wanted to keep the photo balanced with certain colors on opposite sides of the picture to complement each other. I also wanted to keep the colors neutral as if the setting was a big city like Boston or New York. I felt the need to add some nature and greenery to the picture because it seemed too industrial to me. So I created tall hedges/trees in the distance. In general this was a cool project to learn from.
