In my opinion, the strongest visual area of my finished art piece is the definition of my nose,It is easy to point it out and has an allusion of height. However the visual area of my art piece that may be improved is the shirt area where there is only one other shade and shape on it. In order to create this the tools i used were in illustrator and Photoshop, for example in illustrator i used the pen tool, direct selection, eye dropper and curvature tool. In photo shop i only used a limited amount of tools like, the crop tool, adjusting brightness and hue. I used the pen tool to outline the picture and to create the shapes in the picture, the eye dropped to select the shape color and the direct selection to select individual shapes. i just used the tools in photo shop to adjust and change the color. The easy thing about this was the filling in of color with the eyedropper. The difficult part was making sure all the triangles were individual so they could all be different colors. i demonstrated the goals of this assignment by completing it with polygons, showing different levels and having color.If i could do this again i would change up the colors and make it brighter. Ona scale of 1-10 i would rate my effort at 10 because i really liked this project and i enjoyed putting it together.

Cartoon Project

In my opinion, the strongest part of my finished art piece is the jacket because of how dodge and burn tool made it look very cartoon-ish and almost real. However, the visual area that may be improved on is the face because of its choppiness. The outline of the face does not match the skin tone and the outline isn't well rounded, the pen tool was not used correctly in this area. The tools used to create this piece of work were the pen tool, the paintbrush tool,color picker, dodge tool and burn tool. The easiest thing about this art activity was filling in the picture in with color. But the hardest thing about this art activity was using the pen tool in illustrator because it was so new to me and i couldn't quite get the hang of it easily.During the art activity i demonstrated the goals of such by making the picture look somewhat realistic and using the pen tool from illustrator.If i were to do this project over again, i would have changed the color of my outlines and made sure the colors inside the out line and the outline matched. I also would have made the face look a little more realistic and put together. Lastly, on a scale of 1-10 i would rate my effort in this project a 9 because i tried more than i usually would since i had used a different tool i had never used (pen tool).
