exaggeration

finally we got to photoshop project!
so for this assignment we have to draw exaggerated picture and using 5 layers. it's just to explore the photoshop tools and such.

i did this drawing, because last weekend i was really sick and my throat felt like it was all scratched up and puffed up. so it was painful and i didn't get anything done last weekend. i remember i doodled something like this before and i thought it portrayed my feelings when i was sick and stuff like that. i do mostly cartoon/anime style drawings on photoshop too. you can see that on my deviantart site. i guess this one is somewhat recent one i did on photoshop all done in photoshopi thought this was somewhat brings memory. i did this one in high school in photoshop class. that was fun class. the assignment was to create dvd cover, fake one at that. all the drawings are done by me, i did outline in paper and colored it in photoshop.

midterm assignment

well here is the images i used for my final project.

whenever i get the images from nat bard, i'll post my final thing. what i wanted to make was this book where people can draw on top of the images and then slide the part that they drew, and see all the different parts they drew in together to make a different image. in a way it plays with the memory, where some people can't remember certain parts of the people's faces or create a different persona using different parts from other people. so it's kinda interactive fun thing i made. i wish i could have done better job on it, but it was something new i did so it didn't come out as nice as i thought it'd. if i get the time to or chance to i'll remake one and see how that one turns out to be.

pattern

just posting the pattern i used in my self portrait. i put watermark, because it was pain to make this pattern, and i don't want anyone to steal it ~.~

selfportrait finished...

here are the finished one for my self portrait. the first one is tracing over top of a photo, and the bottom is the one i changed over. i used my own home made patterns. they were fun to play around with. i guess i'll upload the original pattern later. in illustrator the details in the pattern got simplified.. i should have made the patterns in illustrator. anyways, i guess for the 2nd one, i just wanted to just make almost everything purple, purple is my favorite color. i thought it'd be interesting to see me with out glasses. i have been wearing glasses for almost little over 10 years now. i might get contacts later on so that should be interesting. i thought what if i had blue/purple hair. i really want to dye my hair some different color, i usually dye it like different shades of brown, and i tried to dye my hair blond one time. that didn't turn out right. so i think i might wait till i find a good place to do my hair, or go visit korea again and do my hair there or something. i guess i put a fan in there because originally i was holding uno cards, but they looked like fans. i like those hand held fans, they are pretty cool and amazing. i think i might have over done with the patter, but i like it. i think i added the hair piece in there, simple shape, but i think it'd have been better then using the pattern or like the one i tried to use in my works in process one. the hair was kinda hard to figure out, i mean i tried to add in the highlights and dark parts, but i think having it might give more distraction? i'm not sure, but not having anything, makes it interesting i think. it kinda balances with the whole busy background and fan with the simple plain surface of the hair. i think overall i did alright job on it.
