Ray Charles Pop Art- Assignment 8

                 The strongest aspect of my work is my choice of color. I just about got his skin tone the exact color. His lip color is almost exact to his real lip color. The weakest aspect of my work is my suit shirt color. The suit shirt was supposed to be a faint green with a grayish color mixed with it. I completely messed it up. It's not the center piece, but it does draw too much attention. Unfortunately, I didn't realize the mistake I had made until I was late in the project.
                  The easiest part of this assignment, was picking my person to make a pop art of. I instantly chose Ray Charles. As soon as we had to choose a famous person, Charles was the first person I thought of.  And the image that I chose was really easy to pick out , out of the many that were given. The most difficult part of this assignment was using the pen tool. The pen tool is completely different to what we have been using to cut out images. But I was finally alb to figure it out and cut out my picture.
                 I feel that I demonstrated the objective of the assignment. The objective was to use the pen tool and to make a pop art image of a famous person. I used masks and clipping paths to make my pop art image. If I were to do this assignment again, I would choose a different person, like Frankie Valley. But for the most part everything would be the same.

Animorph Assignment 7

   
                The strongest aspect of my work, is where I put my animal and how I blended him in with light and dark splotches. My use of the bear nose, mixed in with the deer's face is a strong quality of my work. The weakest aspect of my work is my animals legs. In the original picture that I used the deer's legs were cut off, so I had to do my best to cover up the legs in the woodland picture. Also My placement of the deer is a bit bad. It was the only spot on the image that I could cover up some of the poorer parts of the animal. I wanted to push the animal a little bit further back, but that would have cut off the animals antlers more than it does peeking behind the trees. The antlers are the biggest piece of the work and without them, it would look like a bear sheep or something like that.
               The easiest part of this assignment was shading my creature into the picture. I used the burn tool and the dodge tool to darken and lighten the creature. With the ray of sunlight, I went really light on the antlers because I felt that the antlers reflecting the sunlight looked more mystical. I darkened the lower half of the body and the end quarters of the body, because those were the darkest areas in the background image. The most difficult part of this assignment was combining the two animals into one creature. Only because I wasn't too sure how I was going to do it and due to complications with the stamp tool.
                I feel I demonstrated the objective of this assignment. I combined two animals to make one hybrid creature. I used the stamp tool to get the fur of the bear and the face of the bear. I used the burn tool and the dodge tool to darken and lighten my creature. And I set a mystical background for my creature to live in. If I were to do this assignment again, I probably would've chosen two different animals. But I would definitely still do the morph of a predator and its prey. I'm very happy with the outcome of my work. I don't really think anything would change if I were to redo this assignment.
