Digital Painting

1. The best thing about my artwork is the background, the reason that I say this is because the Wolf itself lacks color the wolf just is mostly grey.

2. The weakest thing about my artwork is the blandness of the wolf with all of his grey which was a mistake on my part because as I was messing around with tools I ended up messing up the color of the fur.  The  reason I say this is the weakest thing about my artwork is the fact that if it wasn't like this the wolf  would be able to have way more color which would make the piece way more interesting instead of bland.

3. The way that I can improve upon this in the future is by making the colors brighter and more saturated to make the picture pop out more. Another way that I could fix this error in my piece is by not using  the sponge tool which would keep the colors in place.

4.  The tools that I used on Photoshop to make this  piece were the move tool, paint brush tool, paint dropper tool, mixer brush tool and sponge tool.

5. I was able to provide a smooth transition of value and color is by using the mixer brush tool and this allowed the colors to blend together smoothly.  The transition of colors in this piece are kind of odd like how it doesn't look so smooth. The way that I was able to creature texture was by downloading a fur brush that allowed me to get the effect of fur.

6. The easy thing about this assignment was the painting of the parts that you have highlighted and just fill them in. The reason that I say this was the easiest thing about is because it didn't really take much brain power besides filling in between the lines.
7.The hardest thing about this assignment was trying to find the changes in shades if color which was very tedious and annoying, I also thought mixing was pretty weird at least for when I was using the fur brush.
8. If I could do this assignment again I would completely change everything.  I would try to make all the colors way more vibrant just to overall give the piece a more interesting look. 
9. I would rate my effort on this project to be a 8 out of 10 because i feel like that I tried awhile in order to complete this assignment trying tidy up some things, it's just that I messed around a little too much and ended up messing the piece up with sponge tool, but overall I tried but I probably could have tried more.

Identity Album Cover

1. the best thing about my art work would be the common theme between most of the pictures, which would be  the skull and flames.

2. The weakest thing about my artwork would be the text and it's color. Another weak thing about my art work would be the lack of certain colors like the blue.

3. The way that the weakest thing about my artwork would be improved upon would be to change the color of the text more and I could add more blue to the left side of the picture.

4. The tools in Photoshop that I used to make this piece were the move tool, blend tool, magic wand tool, filter tool , text tool and other selection tools.

5. The way that I fulfilled the objectives was by following the directions and finding out I way to incorporate  them in my piece.

6. The easiest thing about this assignment would be adding the paint brush strokes.
7.  The most difficult thing about this assignment would be either finding the pictures or trying to find a way to blend them all together.

8. if I could do this assignment again I would probably change the color schemes, text and overall the entire theme about this piece just to add variety.

9. Out of a 1-10 , I would rate my effort as a 9 because I decided to use something that I liked, so I wanted to make it somewhat better or good. Another reason that I would rate myself this number is because I  tried to make the image look good but I didn't try my absolute best.

Andy Warhol Pop Art Project

1. The best thing about my art work is the amount of different shades or spots where colors were changed. The reason that I say this is because it is more diverse but was harder to keep color in certain spots.
2. the weakest thing about my art work are the little spots in the picture that have remained black and white, this is my fault for using a picture with such are large detailed background which caused it to have many different shades of both white and black.
3. The way that the weakest part of my art work can be improved is by using a image that doesn't have this many shades and I could try to align the images themselves more.
4. The true Photoshop tools that I used to create this image were the crop tool, paintbrush tool and the magic wand tool.
5.  The way that I was able to select the colors with ease was by using the magic wand tool.
6.  The thing that was incredible easy with this assignment was most of the work because of the step by step directions.
7. The hardest thing about this assignment was at least for me  because of the image was trying to fill in the spots that weren't yet colored in, this was difficult because of the amount of different shades of whites and blacks.
8. If I could do this assignment again I would most definitely pick a different picture with a solid background. Another thing that I would do differently would be to use different colors instead of the ones I used here. 
9. On scale of 1-10 i would give myself a 7, the reason that I gave myself this rating is because it really could be any number because this was a series of just following directions step by step.

Sugar Skull

The colors that i'm going to choose are more of Halloween colors, like blue and black. The symbol that I'm going to choose is a spider to emphasize the Halloween ascetic. Another symbol that I want to add would be to add a bat symbol. The reason that I say I want a Bat symbol for the other symbol is because I want to have symbols that have somewhat relevance with Halloween ad such. Since I am going for this idea,I will also be using a broom as one of the patterns or symbols that i'll include.  One other symbol that I might use are the pumpkin symbols or scare crow marks.

 1. The best thing about my art work would be the spider symbols on the face because it's one of the best things that can represent Halloween. The reason that I say this is because I feel like it is the best representation on spookiness on the skull.
2.  The weakest thing about my art work would be the fact that some of the items/ symbols are not symmetrical with each other. I say this because if everything was in fact symmetrical the piece itself would probably way smoother and clean.
3. The way that I could improve on the unsymmetrical problems is by copying and pasting the symbols I will have twice in the piece on opposite sides and such.
4.  The tools in illustrator that I used to create this piece are the paint brush tool, gradient tool, move tool, select tool , pen tool and zoom tool.
5.  The way that you can make an illustration in illustrator is by using certain templates, brushes and maybe some images that can be found in google. The way that I was able to achieve this goal was that I did all things that I listed previously.
6. The easiest thing about this assignment was tracing over the skulls face. The reason that I say this is because it was really too hard to just go around the skull and click even though with my trace it really isn't exact.
7. The hardest thing about this assignment was the fact that didn't ask how to do certain things so then I ended up doing a lot of mouse drawings with the addition of google drawings.  Specifically the hardest thing about this assignment would be trying to make certain things symmetrical without copying them.
8. If I were to do this assignment again I would work on the weaknesses that I had like the symmetricalness of this particular piece. I would also try to actually add  more of things that I talked about in the  brainstorm above, that would definitely make feel more pleased about it.

9. Out of a 1-10 I would rate my  work as a 8. The reason that I rate it as such is that I put a lot of effort in the piece and tried to substitute certain abilities that I wasn't able to do or more so I didn't know how to do. The other reason that I rate my work as 8 instead of anything higher is the fact that didn't do much of the things that I said  I would do in the brainstorm.

SmileyYyyy

1. I feel like the best thing about my work is how weird and diverse it is.  The reason that I think this is the best thing about my piece is because nothing else really feels like it is popping or unique.
2.  The weakest thing about this piece would be the white spaces that are left around the image. The reason that I say this is because if the white spaces weren't there the picture would be whole lot better.
3. The weakest image could be improved on by me making sure to get rid of the white spaces ahead of time.
4. The tools that I used for this image were the move tool and  gradient tool, I didn't really use too many of the other tools.
5. The way that I was able to meet the requirements for this piece was that I followed all the directions like  having a head with hair and a body with arms and legs. I also followed the requirement of putting an actual background to the piece. 
6. The thing that was easy about this assignment was finding a gradient for the head and finding a background for the image.
7. The thing that was difficult about this assignment was finding different parts of the body and seeing how they looked together.
8. If i were able to do this project again I would probably find a cartoon torso and probably would get rid of some of those white spaces in the piece. I would also probably try to change the look of the picture to make it even weirder.
9. From a 1-10 I would rate my art work a 8 because I really did try to make the picture very unique and let's say different from the rest, but I could have probably been more creative than I was.

Explosion of A's?

I would say the best thing about my work would be the A's that are expanding outward which somewhat could be interpenetrated as a explosion. I did do something a little different but i kinda just went a little to far with exploring.
2. The weakest thing about my art work to me at least I feel as if it is basic, this could be due to the fact that I didn't want spend too much time on this after messing it up. I would say this is the weakest thing because it really changed the art work from it's earlier stage and it doesn't really have enough spice or interesting things about it.
3.The way that this weakness could be avoided in future shots would be for me to not deviate without caution and for me to try to be more creative on future pieces.
4. The tools that i used to create this piece would be the gradient tool, filter tool , move tool, warp text, and text tool.
5. The way that I was able to be the objectives for this project would be that first I tried to create a repetition throughout the strands of A's,I also tried align them together in a certain proximity which is kinda all over the place and the contrast but making the A's change depending on their location in the piece.
6. One thing that i thought was easy was when I had to find how morph the the text, which made things a lot easier and more interesting. The reason that this was then easiest is because it was that hard to find out how to do it.
7. The most difficult thing about this assignment is the fact that I had to find how to individually change each text instead of  copy and paste.
8. If I could do this assignment again I would probably try to make it way more interesting and just overall make it look better and just more pleasing to look at. I would also make the pattern better or intriguing.
9. I would rate my effort a 7, the reason that I say this is because I could have tried way more and made it more pleasing but after messing up I just didn't want to try something different.
