Hello again! I was planning to take only a week off to focus on doing some personal stuff and then continue with the assignments, but unfortunately I got sick and I couldn't even do it ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌ and because I wanted to continue with the course I immediately started with term 2 after I felt better.
Starting with the visual communication 2 assignments, I realized that I already have the habit of analyzing every illustration I find, I started doing it to learn and include new elements in my art, and I've done so for many years now. Sometimes is a little disruptive when I'm trying to read manga or webcomics, but it has improved my visualization skills over time.
I think my knowledge of the elements of art is pretty good, but I definitely need to keep working on it to keep improving my art, and it would also help me to receive some feedback as well!
Photoshop assignment A was a little more tricky because I'm not using PS, and because my options were a little more limited I just did my best to understand the tools I had on hand and make something more simple.
I wanted to make a title for a fantasy story, so I searched for a pretty font that could express that. I also added some sparkles on the i to make it look like the moon.
Honestly, making this little monster gave me a headache. I've never been very fond of this tool, but i tried my best at making this little guy, and i think it looks really funny.
I think maybe I went overboard with the box cover, at first I wanted to make something simple for the title I made earlier, but I ended up doing a full illustration. I'm actually very proud of how it looks and I also had a lot of fun while making it.
Finally for the last assignment of week 1 I made my self-portrait. I'm not that good at drawing realistic features, but I think it looks very similar to my appearance.
One of the things that I really need to do during the next few weeks is posting more on the forum, I always end up forgetting to do it, so I'll try to be more active from now on!
