1. The strongest area of my work was actually drawing myself. This drawing describes me literally taking my head off from my body, just because. It took a couple classes to actually get the lines filled in so I can move on to shading the drawing with color. Once this idea came to my head, I knew I had to make it realistic and interesting for all eyes, it’s something different to me that I made.
2. I could’ve improved on the coloring and the lines and curves. When I was using the quick selection tool to select parts of my body and would fill the colors in, it would have parts of the dark lines shaded in or not. It was messing me up because some parts would be darken with the lines and some wouldn’t, so it looked like I didn’t know how to color correctly.
3. What was easy was when I was filling in what needed to be shaded in and changing the opacity so it can look a little more realistic. Also, tracing certain parts of the drawing the didn't involve so much of curving like the shoes or head, they were pretty simple.
4. What was difficult in this activity was having to trace what wasn't as easy as I thought it would be such as the shoe lace, the blood stains or the mouth. Other than that, everything was a bit easy to complete.
5. The materials I used in Illustrator was mostly the pen tool and the anchor tool to add points that would make the tracing easier. In Photoshop, I used the quick selection tool, the fill tool, the layer tool, and the zooming tool.
6. I demonstrated my drawing as myself literally ripping my head off because, knowing how senior year is the most important year because of colleges, grades, and improving for the better, ripping my head off is symbolizing how it makes me feel to do so much at once, even though it's worth it in the long run.
7. What I would try again for this activity, is that I would improve of the curves and maybe a background that would make it more eye-opening and interesting. I would definitely change what I'm doing, maybe i could've drew one leg in the air with balloons coming out of my ear, something creative and eye-opening to others.
