WEEK 10 + 11: DONE, DONE DONE AND DONE!

For my last post I am including both week 10 and 11 because I've completed the last 2 parts of my final assignment in these weeks, the collage and the movie, 

After finally being able to get all my edited footage for my movie onto my laptop I was able to finish it. I used Windows Movie Maker to do the final editing, which was to add the audio (Elastic Heart by Sia) and edit the video to make it greyscale, after that I added credits and  it was finally done! I decided to call the movie 'Elastic' because of how the song relates to the struggles that I've faced with body issues and drinking and like an elastic band, no matter how far I am stretched in life, I am able to come back to myself and be happy with who I am. 

Here are a few snapshots that were taken during the filming.

I also got my Pop Art Comic collage completed as well. I really love how this turned out, its bright and colourful and I loved changing around the colours for each of the images and each image stands out in its own way. After getting the drawings from the photographs, I uploaded them to Illustrator so I could then trace them and add colour to them. I had to used Photoshop a little to get the trace lines right and then also to combine the 3 finalized images into a collage. 

Here's some pictures of the drawings and the final images. 

Since I've finished off all the artworks, I've just been putting together a PowerPoint presentation for the presentation of all my works to the class. 

This semester has gone so quickly and I have thoroughly enjoyed this class and feel like I have learnt a lot about the creation of digital art and will be able to use this in the future.

Thanks for tuning in!

For the last time!

WEEK 9: Feeling Fine

Only 3 weeks left!
This week I finished my single digital drawing of myself as a pin up.
I drew a sketch based off the photograph, went over the sketch with fine liner to make the lines bolder so they stand out and are easier to trace over in Illustrator. I then took a picture of it to upload to my laptop so I could start working on it in Illustrator. I traced over the drawing then added colour and a shadow effect, then a background and border to finish it off.
Here's some pictures of the process.

I am really please with how it this artwork turned out and I really enjoyed the whole process of putting it together.

This week I started to put together and edit my movie on Final Cut Pro, so far the editing hasn't been a problem but saving my work to continue working on it on my laptop has, Hopefully I can work around it and get my movie finished in time! I also have been working on the pop art comic pictures and will hopefully have them completed soon as well.

Next week will be my last blog post, so till then!

Peace!
