Pikachu Digital Painting

Reflection Paragraphs

The best part about my composition I would say is my clear variation of colors. Before beginning my painting I made sure to try and map out every color change to make for the best shading. Although, I wish I had more time to blend with the mixer brush more as it could use some refinement and improving.

Picking what to paint and blending probably were the hardest parts about this alignment. The easy part was mapping out the color changes with the paintbrush. With a keen eye, I, for the most part, was able to tell the differences in color.

I used about four layers from the layer tool (a base/background, the image off the internet of pikachu, one for mapping color changes, and another for the painting the image). I used the polygon laso tool to delete edges, the quick selection tool to paint specific areas, the eyedropper tool to single out individual colors, the paint brush and the mixer brush generally. I made sure to demonstrate proper usage of the new tools and settings like the paintbrush and it's specific functions like load and wet. If I were restart the project I would definitely find an image with more colors.
