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.

It was much easier to do than the previous project, because everything blended together and I didn't have to worry about getting the lines exactly right.

Digital Painting of Choice: Sketchbook Pro

For this assignment I had to create a painting of my choice in Sketchbook Pro. As you can see, I did a painting of a witch and a cat. In all honesty, I actually didn't do this painting in Sketchbook Pro, I did it in Krita, which is a free art program I have on my computer at home. I did this at home with my own tablet because I was having trouble with the brushes lagging and the painting would have turned out terrible if I did it at school. Anyways, I hope you like it because it took longer than expected to do!

Contour/Collage Portrait

For this project, I had to take a picture of myself and fill up the space around my face with pictures and contour lines. After taking a picture of myself in photo booth, I decided to theme my border objects as representing the 4 seasons, each corner is a different season. After putting together the border, I used different colors to do contour lines on most of the objects, resulting in a cool-looking, quirky collage.
