Edward Gorey Asssignment

-

For this assignment, I had to create my own addition to Edward Gorey's "Ghastlycrumb Tinies". I found Gorey's alphabet book of children's deaths to be funny, yet disturbing. The concept of the project was funny, but I didn't like doing it because the result had to be creepy, and I don't like that. If you look closely, you can see a book following my fall off the cliff. This is because I would have fallen off the cliff because I was reading and walked right off. To create this project, I used the cookie cutter tool in Photoshop Elements and made the tree, the birds, the person's hair, and the banner.

This post is simply to explain that since I came into Digital Art later than the beginning of the year, I didn't have time to complete all the assignments. I tried to focus on the more interesting ones first, and so as a result I didn't have a chance to do: Light Painting, and Stranger Photos, and that's why they're not on my blog. Everything else is, though. Sorry!

Macro Photo Shoot

This assignment was a lot more fun than I expected it to be! I grabbed a couple of models (a binder clip, bell pepper, apple, sea urchin shell, and whisk) and took them outside to my backyard to take pictures of them with the Macro setting. The camera I used wasn't the best quality (so the photos aren't as sharp as I wanted them to be) but I think the use of the Macro setting really puts the focus on the 'models'.  Binder clips make the best models ever! They never move and always look beautiful! XD A bell pepper strikes a pose on a platter in my backyard. A nice headshot of this beautiful shiny apple! Wow.... this platter sure appears in a lot of photos.... Eggo whisk!

Scanned Felt Tip Drawing

For this project, I had to create a line drawing with a black felt tip pen, and then scan it and color it in Photoshop. This project was fairly easy, because for me it's way easier to draw on paper rather than a computer, and it was really cool to see what my line art looked like when colored on the computer.
