Laurel Epps (:

I think this was one of my favorite projects to do...but i only had one day to complete it to get credit. If i had more time i would have added more of a background and worked on the title. Because I didn't have enough time i thought of simplifying everything down, making it more like a comic book. I wish i had more time to work on this, and i plan on bringing all of these projects home to work on to maybe one day put in my portfolio. i learned a lot in this class that i thought i would never learn. I didn't know that this type of art is this really hard and coming into this class with no experience was really difficult for me. but I've learned so many different techniques that i hope to use in the future and improve my artwork! During this class i've been really inspired by everyone's artwork that I have seen. I hope that I keep practicing working on the computer. I really wish I had more time to make a title and everything.. I wanted to name it "Best Friends?" so the comic technically isn't very sci-fi or like any comic books...so maybe this comic is for teenage or younger girls? (because of the two characters being girls). Thanks Mr. Keaney for a great class!!



For me, this project was easier because it was my second time working with photoshop. I used different brushes, and experimented more with my tools that I had. I think I like working with children books more because I'm not 100% into the fantasy topics. I wish I had more time to work on the lines in the background..I think that they are distracting and not needed. I worked really hard on the grandmother (her hair and skin) and also the curtains. I think next time or the next time I work on this, I will add something to the brown walls, I think it will make it more interesting. Also, I want to add more to the door, because I think again, the red is boring and needs more of a wood look. I how it looks like the wolf is somewhat glowing and creepily standing outside the door, so I think I did a better job this time of portraying his emotions, rather than our last project. I think that this project went smoother than the last, but there are still things that I can work on!

__Like__: I like my wolf a lot because I feel that I captured his emotions and actions. Unfortunately my 2nd piece that I worked on didn't save and it was much better because it was my 2nd time working with Photoshop. In that piece I liked the textures and there was a direct light source. This being my first time working in photoshop this was more of a practice and getting used to the program. I think that now that I know more, my work will get better as time moves on. __Dislikes__: I dislike my girl because I think that she doesn't portray the emotion that I was going for. She is somewhat boring and doesn't express her character. I think if I had more time to work on her face and emotions, it would have been more successful as a whole. ( And this is San, not Bayonetta)
