Self Painted Portrait


                                                                       So for this assignment I just wanted to focus on painting all the necessary details while making certain compromises. For instance the lighting and lining of my hair I just decided to lighting certain areas by filling them with lighter brown and using thin strokes to show the directions of where my hair was going. Also for my neck it may seem a tad bit irregular but that is only because I had to add lighting to the collar of my turtle neck which slightly changed the out come of my neck entire. I made sure to add shading around my eyes and in my ears to show that the light is coming from the front of my face. The weird blue path on the right side of my portrait is part of a denim flannel I had on in the original image but it only showed one side because I took the picture slightly more to my left side (in this case the right side)which is why it only shows on my left arm. Overall I'm pleased with the outcome of my portrait which took a lot of time to get what I wanted to see in my own painted portrait. I would say it requires minor details in other areas in my painting as a whole. The variety of brushes was a huge help during the illustrating process.

       What I learned during the process for both portraits is the importance of lighting and shading in an image, photo, or drawing. It shows the direction where light is coming from and it's crucial to making the drawing more realistic and detailed for both gray and colored portraits. The colored portrait required more creativity but the same sense of detail as the grayscale portrait. By doing so I also learned how to use the gradient tool and the saturation settings in adobe. The color of my work can improve by adding additional lighting to the red collar and the silver webbing around it In the program the lighting of the hair is more present than shown in the image. The creative element my portrait shows is the reflection of my lenses since there is a balance of lighting between the shade and the illuminated parts of my cheeks. In addition the lighting of my hair is very distinct from the darker parts which makes the hair look very well done. I appreciate the fin...

Type Self Portrait

 I wasn't sure what font to use at first which made it difficult as to how to start of the portrait. However it would've been better to go for a serif font since it is less restricted that a sans serif font which allows for more precise letter placements and creativity. In terms of accuracy it is subpar compared to other works. I feel I could improve in letter variety to make certain areas of my portrait pop out more and be more accurate to my face. The areas of growth I've improved in would be creativity and decisiveness during the illustrating process such as using the parenthesis and "O" for the eyes. The curve of the parenthesis was versatile so it allowed me to also shape the ears very precise to the my self portrait model. The nose and hair were the most difficult parts for me to draw precisely to the original portrait of my mine since it was confusing how to use a variety of letters for those areas. The easiest part to draw for me at least was the ears sinc...

Color Theory

  What are pixels? The basic unit of programmable color on a digital display or image 2.How is color viewed in computer monitors? Colors in monitors are viewed in RGB, Red Green Blue which derives from and is equivalent to white light. 3. What is the additive color space? Additive color space is the white light that produces red, green, blue. 4. Describe which additive color sliders values in InDesign you would use to make white and black.   Indesign has the the tint slider to adjust the saturation of the color we intend to use. Black would be set to (R: 0 G: 0 B:0.) White would be set to (R: 255 G: 255 B: 255) . 5. What is the subtractive color space? The color space where cyan, magenta, yellow, and black is produced in pigment and paint. Printers are known to be based on CYMK subtractive colors. 6. Describe which subtractive color sliders values in InDesign you would use to make white and black. ...
