Cartoon project


   The strongest visual area of my finished project is my hair and eye color because my hair is always in a pony and its very blonde, plus my eyes are very blue. The weakest visual area that can be improved on are my arms and legs. I can improve on my arms and legs by adding detail to make them look like they are actual arms and legs.
    The tools I used were the paintbrush, dodge and burn, eyedropper, magic wand, and quick selection tool. I used the magic wand and quick selection tool to select the area I needed to paint, then I used the paint brush tool to paint the area I selected. The dodge and burn tools were used to make my shirt, shorts, and skin lighter or darker in some areas. The last tool was the eyedropper tool which I used to take the exact color of my shirt and color my hair elastic. The easiest part of this project was coloring my cartoon and making it come to life because I could make it look however I wanted.
    The most difficult part of this activity was finding a hair color because there aren't any colors really close to my hair color. I demonstrated each of the goals because my cartoon looks just like me. If I could do this assignment again I would change my outfit and make it with a different season because my cartoon is dressed for spring and summer. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate my work an 8 because i'm super happy with how my work came out and I love it.

mix media project updated


   The strongest part of my piece is the caption because it describes the caption very well and it flows well with the project as a whole. I could improve on how I align and place certain objects and pictures and make it all work together better. The tools i used were the clone stamp, quick selection, rectangular marquee, and color swatches. I used these tools to help me cut out the parts of the pictures that I needed and to color the sun.
   This art project was easy because I could make it the way i wanted to make it and my art didn't have any limits. The difficult part was making everything blend and work together. I made sure I was completing all the goals for this activity because i have mixed media, my own picture, and a drawing that I drew.
   I would change the background if I could do this project again. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate my work an 8 because I strongly feel that my work represents and shows mixed media very well and I'm proud of how my project turned out.
