Shape Task

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I like the fact you can use a wide variety of tools when coming to produce this style of imagery. I have used new skills such as detailed warping which is something I tend not to use in my other work but could be found useful in future projects. The animal I chose I think works well due to the sections which are in separate colours are very defined which makes it easier to put the image into separate layers.Due to the bird having feathers which don’t flare about, unlike if they had fur, it makes it a lot easier to section the image off. I like the fact I have used a gradient, which starts with white and works through to a brown colour, I have done this to make up the pupil and the eye of the puffin.The main thing I enjoyed about this was been able to experiment with the wrapping tool, been able to use many shapes and then combining the layers together to fill a curtain objects.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would attempt to do an animal with a bit more difficulty, maybe have more shading in the image as well as using pattern overlays to try new things. Think about using a stroke around my work before the layers have been out down, it would have made it easier if I had though about this factor at the start so I could have acted upon this during production.

2nd attempt

Evaluation

What did you like about my image?In my second attempt with making a cartoon animal, I inherited some new skills in my work to

make the overall out come look more realistic but still cartoon. The way you have to do this is by going to Select>Colour Range and then select the part of the image where you’d like the shading from and this will notice everything in this image of the same colour and select this for you. You are then able to put this on a separate layer and change the opacity to make the shading noticeable but not as prominent as the coloured image itself.

I also employed another new skill of using many little shades to get a selection of an object with an peculiar outer line meaning you could then use this skill to do more detailed animals.

The last of the new skill I used in this 2nd attempt is the use of the gradient tool which also you to blend a section from one colour to another selected colour

What would you improve if you did it again?I would prefer if I could have found another way to sort out all the little imperfections such as

little gaps left between where the limbs connected to make the image seem cleaner.

Rotoscope

Evaluation

What did you like about my image?In this piece of work I employed skills from doing the shape task such as using the colour range tool (found under select) to get the darker parts of the image on Tyler the Creators face. The reason I have done this is to make the cartoon image seem more realistic. Having the view of him from the side made the image considerably easier to get the leading lines of the nose which can be a lot harder when looking at someone straight on.I like the fact I didn’t fill the image with colour. The reason I have done this is so that you can’t put an coloured background behind this and it will still show the full image of Tyler on top.

What would you improve if you did it again?If I were to do this piece again I would try doing the whole image of the person in colour instead of using the outlines of the subject to make the basis of the image.Another thing I would do is try using the gradient tool to make shading on the subject.The last thing I would try and employ if I did this again is using the colour selection tool to bring out detail in the person such as hair and beards

Rotoscope

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I took into account what I wanted to improve if I did this again tried doing a different style of ‘Rotoscoping’ whilst still using people as the subject. I used Paul Walker in the second image and also chose this image due to it been a completely different angle of the camera on his face. The face I have used the colour range tool to bring out more detail in his face with the hair and his beard. I have done this so there is no big block of colour and the image looks more pleasing to the eye. Unlike in my first image where I used a gradient over the background to build effect. I used the gradient in this image to show shading Paul’s face, shirt and suit. This was something I had to to myself due to in the original image there was a flash gun used so there was no shading to be noticed on his face.

What would you improve if you did it again?I could do with putting a bit more detail into the eye area seen as though I have forgotten to make put in any eye lashes or even shading around the eyesLast thing I would like to improve would be putting more detail into things such as the tie seen as though in the actual image, the tie was chequered
