Line Drawing Portrait



I made these portraits through Adobe Illustrator. First, I traced the face, ears, eyes, brows, and lips with the pen tool, and I drew most of her hair with the pen tool as well. Then, I drew some of her hair with the brush tool to make it more realistic. Also, I drew the butterfly with the pen tool and added some color, and I drew the butterfly's details with the brush tool. Secondly, I added some figures on the face as shadows with the pen tool. At first, I didn't know you could blur it, but then my teacher showed me how I could add that effect. Finally, I selected all the shadow figures and applied the gaussian blur in all of them, and it made it look more realistic. The last picture, which is my favorite of all, has the original drawing placed on the digital drawing. In conclusion, I enjoyed doing these portraits, even though it was challenging at first.

Eye

I made this eye through Adobe Illustrator. First, I opened a new white layer, and then I placed a picture of an eye on top of it. I started tracing some shapes from the eye with the pen tool and coloring those shapes according to the image of the eye. Finally, I used the pen tool to make the lines from the eyelashes. In this assignment I learned how to make shapes and lines and how to curve them. It was difficult and confusing at first, but I started getting better and the hang of it as I did it more and practiced.

Mandalas Color Theory


 Black and White
 Warm Colors
Analogous
 Complementary
 Cool Colors
Value Range

I made these mandalas through Photoshop. The first step was making the background figure, and I chose to make hexagons. I traced and drew the flower in Photoshop, and placed it in the middle of my mandala. Then, I colored the mandala and finally drew some designs with the brush. I changed the effects of the color of my original design and made 5 other different ones. Even thought it was somewhat difficult at first since I'm a beginner at digital design, I really enjoyed this assignment and the outcome of it.
