Sugar Skull

The things I used for my sugar skull:
1. A cross because it represents my faith.
2. Fire because my lyrics are fire.
3. A basketball because I love playing basketball.
4. A heart because I love my family.
5. A star because I wanna be one.
6. Flowers because my mom and sister like flowers I guess.
7. Spirals because my bro likes those I guess.
8. I used the color black a lot because that's my favorite color.
9. I used the color red because its one of my favorite colors.
10. Squiggly lines because they're crispy and remind me of someone but I don't know why though.

The best thing about my artwork is the placement of my symbols. I feel like I put them in the right place and made it look pretty good. The weakest thing about my artwork is the way I drew the symbols. I'm a bad drawer and if you look at the skull, you will clearly see that. The tools I used for this were the paint brush tool, the spiral tool, the smooth tool, the pen tool, the selection tool, the gradient tool, the shaper tool, and the star tool. I definitely met the goals for the project. I drew everything that is on the skull and I think they turned out pretty good even though i can't draw. Making the outline of the skull was the easiest thing. The most difficult thing was making the teeth. Making the teeth took me awhile. If I could do this assignment again, I would keep everything the same because I like it. On a scale from 1-10, I would rate this project a 9. I think I did pretty good.

My Made Up Character

The best thing about my project is then way I made the character. I think I did pretty good. The worst part about my project is the way I cut out the images. I tried using the quick selection tool to cut out the parts I didn't need but i wasn't completely successful. The weakest thing in my project can be improved easily, I just need to get better at using the quick selection tool. The tool I used for this project were quick selection tool, move tool, elliptical marquee tool, gradient tool, and the brush tool. I think I met the objectives of the assignment. I made a character and I put a background. The easy part was putting the background. That was then easiest because I'm good at doing that. The difficult part of the assignment was using the quick selection tool to delete parts of the images that weren't needed. It was difficult because I still barely know how to use photoshop. If i could do this assignment again, I would try to get my characters whole body into the image. If i were to rate my effort, I would give myself a 9 because I took my time and tried to make the images nice and clean with the quick selection tool.
