Digital Art 1
This class was a really cool class i learned so much. Learning about different brushes and how you could actually paint in the computer was something that i thought i would never learn. Im used to drawing and painting in paper and canvases but its cool how technology has improve and the different computer softwares that there are out there. I would buy the photoshop program and hopefully continue drawing in the computer after graduation. :)
My third planet i used the same planet as that other space scape but put a purple, pink, green ring around it. I learned how to mixed much more colors to make the ring. I had the idea of making a milky way but did a different version of milky way. I used pink, green, blue and a little of purple and in the center i put a sparkling white, pink light look alike.
This particular photo is my most favorite one out of all the rest. With this i used much more different brushes i remember using the burning brush turbulence brush and also just used mixing brushes. With the moon i used the glow brush to make the outside glow of the moon that way it would show the depth of the moon then just having the moon just stuck there. Also with the waves I used the glow tool to make the waves have that depth that they have when there splashing under the sunlight. I put small white dots on the sky but i could have made them with more detailed to make them look like real stars. In overall i love this painting that i created.

This is also a favorite of my i decided to put a tornado in the background and i really liked how the trees came out. The trees were the hardest part because i needed to get the shape right but also had to make them seem like the tornado wind was trying to blow them away. I don't really remember the brush that i used to make the trees. With the moon i used the glow tool to make that glow that the moon has at night. I also added stars and used the burning brush and the glow brush so it would have that same depth that the moon had. I struggled with the the lake that i as trying to achieve, it just looks like a big blob of something blue lying down on the grass. I really liked the tornado i put glow around the rings of the tornado i could of made it look more realistic. 
This is my flash pop art i didn't put a background on my photo. With this i learned how to used more the lasso tool to outline my eyes, mouth, nose,eyebrows and all the wrinkles on the shirt. Adding color to the face and my clothes was hard because the paint bucket tool wouldn't paint every section of  my hair or of my sweater and i hard time with putting color inside my eye so i just used the brush tool and zoom into my eyes and added color in.
The color wheel was one of the easiest assignment that we had to do. Knowing The basics of paint colors having taken painting one this semester too. Complementary colors are colors that are straight across from each other in the color wheel. 
In this first space scape i learned about the different soft wares that could be use. I learned about different brushes and how they worked, how to mix colors and how to make a planet with a cool ring around it. This space scape was my first try and it came out bad but an effort is a effort :) I tried to achieve making a realistic galaxy but with one planet. Overall i liked how it came out i struggled a lot with trying to mix the different colors together to make it look better. I could of used more of the mixing brushes to perfectly mix the background and make it look more cleaner.
