Pop art


I enjoyed this project but it was a bit easy. If I hadn't been doing something purposeful and done all the extra work I would've been done in about a day. I used the burn and dodge tool quite a bit and liked learning how to make the picture look like little spots. Still lovin the class, really glad I'm here; it actually gets me up in the morning so that's a plus.

Vector art


I really enjoyed this project. I loved that i actually had to work at it a while, the others almost didn't take long enough. I also really love this kind of art so it was fun learning how to create it. The vector tool was kind of hard to get the hang of at first, I had to watch exactly where the demo put theirs otherwise it just wouldn't have turned out right. Once I got the hang of it, it really wasn't very hard. I would definitely rate this project a 10. I think the vector tool could turn out to be really useful in the future. I also learned how to use the gradient tool, which is also really cool.

Square Fruit


This project was fun, but I didn't think it was very useful. The only tools I used were tools I learned in the other two projects. Actually, I learned how to use the line tool...click and drag... It was fun to change the shape of things though and I feel my final product came out pretty well. So far my favorite project was the Applying Tattoos project.

Morphing Creatures


This project was really fun and interesting, and taught me to do some pretty cool stuff. I really liked learning how to crop hair the best way. I'm not sure I chose the right animals, because they couldn't be matched very well color and texture-wise. I'm really enjoying this class; it's really fun! I don't think i liked this project as much as the last one, but only because of the nature of the creations. The last one was a little more serious, and also easier to make believable.

tattoos



I really enjoyed this project. I think everything I learned in the duration of this project is very important to know. It seems like learning how to use the liquefy tool will be very useful in the future. Because this was my first project, I learned some very fundamental things like how to add a new layer or a filter. I loved putting tattoos on people and will probably put some on all of my friends pictures. I liked how artistic and creative you could be in this project. I'm lovin this class and am excited to see what the next project will teach me.
