Well, my day yesterday started by having a good breakfast, I then decided to do some work but nothing was going the way I wanted. I think I then cried. Which is quite funny in my opinion. I then had a fight with my boyfriend. So all in all, was a bad day. I got into bed, put on extremely emotional music and sat down with my laptop. I thought I would try to do some more work. Still wasn’t working out well. I then done some of my own work. I did sleep content. I watched a few YouTube videos on how to cartoon yourself. Following these newly learnt instructions, I illustrated on a photograph.The process I used started by following basic lines of the sourced image with a brush. I used the pressure feature to create clean cut lines. I then expanded the appearance and merged the lines. I used certain colours to fit in the correct places. I finally used the pencil tool and created shapes of height and depth.I like this post as it shows my progress. This is because when I began the course, I have absolutely no idea about digital work. I then sat myself for hours where I’d watch YouTube videos and play around with the software. This post shows my progress. For example, I had no clue about “expanding the appearance”. But now it’s such an important yet small step.
