Finish Apple

So, this is it. I did do this to the best of my ability and i feel like i did work hard on this. Could it be better. Yes. Could everything be better? Of course. There will always be things to work on and improve, perfection is not reachable because everything can be better.  I can see the things that needs to change. More blending and texture. And today i worked on smoothing the edges (which of course can be better, but i think i did a good job on it). I tried to add more yellow to it inm the corner, but ran out of time to blend it. But before, it was even worse. And i wish i could of made the lines more stand out instead of blending those to much. I just couldn't find the right combo of brushes. This class was hard for, even harder than calc :-) but i tried and did my best, and as long as people know that, i am good with life. I also took my vocab test today, which after studying, was easy. So that was nice :-)

Texture Sample Day 2

Once again we worked on our texture sample. And i think it looks okay (getting there, i don't think it will ever be perfect). I mostly used the heavy wax crayon (thing) brush and used that a lot. I made a lot of these little changes and didn't see them when they were little, but together they made a difference and i thought that was pretty cool. I got frustrated some in the beginning, but i chilled out, took a deep breath, got some advice, and felt better. Yay!

Apple Sample

Today we still worked on the apple painting, but in another way. We passed around a jump drive and had to download the file off of it. We then had to try to replicate the sample in the upper corner. And it was hard, like always. This practice was suppose to help us feel more comfortable with the texture brushes and to see how they work in this setting of an apple. I do feel like I am getting a hang of this apple but it is taking me a while.

Apple Texture

Today I solely (sp?) focused on texture. and. It. Is. HARD! You have to add layers upon layers upon layers and it gets a little annoying/. And you have to try different textures and different brush sizes. It is a lot to keep track of! I eventually had to create a new layer that stays hidden most of the times called "texture ideas" just to see what some of the brushes looks like.

More Apple

Today i worked on more blending with the apple. I think i got most of the primary and the secondary colors down so next class i will work work on some texture stuff that my teacher showed us today. i think it is coming along nicely, I just need to finish this before my school year ends (which i can)

Apple Day 2

We worked on this painted apple again and I just blurred it some more. This is really hard for me as not being so "technical savvy" but it is coming along and that is what I care about. The middle part of the apple is too green so I am going to have to change that because it looks... ugh. And I don't want it to look ugh, but yay! instead

Apple Painting

Since I missed class last time, I never got started on our new project- painting a realistic apple in Photoshop. So today i found a picture of an apple (that was approved)and started painting it. this is hard for me because i do love traditional painting sop it is hard to do it on a computer with a mouse and pixels instead of a canvas with a paintbrush and paint. But i am making my way threw it slowly but it will be finished! Muhahaha!
