Week 10

Assignment: Finish up coloring the comic pictures and make sure the story is depicted clearly through the pictures.

Craft
I got alot of good tips today during the critique to better my comic. I need to make some ideas more clear by words and action lines in my pictures. Also, i think my coloring is on point, but im going to zoom in and smooth the edges out.

Concept
My concept is basically the same, but i might be adding some more color, such as hair color or eye color to make my characters seem more believable.

Week 9

Assignment: Desaturate pictures and color picture with two different colors.

Craft: 
First i need to make the original picture a layer and not a background by double clicking it and renaming it. After this i need to make a layer for each color that i'm going to be using in my picture. 

Composition: 
The main color has to be the last layer and the original photo has to be the first layer. All the other color layers have to be between the two.

Concept: 
I want to use the colors blue and yellow. Also, i want to use alot of shades of those two colors in my comic. Finally, when i get the pictures colored i want to use the filter Poster Edges to make the pictures look comic-like.

Week 7

Assignment: Story about two people, one traveling and one waiting, and a package.

Traveler : Mia
Person Waiting: Em
Package: Box of Emotions

Storyline
Em and Mia are fraternal twins. Em was born with no emotions, while Mia was very emotional in every situation. Nineteen years late, Em was an inspiring actress, but couldn't display emotion. Like every other day Em went to "the bean" downtown Chicago and tried over and over to show any kind of emotion in her face, but this day was like no other. Mia found a box at her work in the sears tower. When she open it, she created little doll-like Mias which each displayed a different emotion. She closed the box and very awkwardly headed to Em. On the way Mia was very paranoid because laughing, crying and screaming were coming from the box. Finally, Mia arrived at "the bean" and gave  Em the box. When she opened it the little Mias jumped on Em and with a smile and a tear in her eye Em gave Mia a hug.


Extra Credit

Assignment: Go to Lincoln Art Show










I went to the Lincoln exhibit with Alysha and Jones. It was really interesting and fun to see my art work displayed with so many other artists.











This piece was my leaste favorite. It brought diversity among the other art works, but i feel like it was made over night with not alot of thought.










On the other hand, this was my favorite piece. To me it represents the present Lincoln, by using Barrack Obama's style poster. Also, it shows that Lincoln would still strongly believe in "FREEDOM".
