Surreal Portrait

Surreal portrait I started at class but finished at home. This was a photo of one of my friends, I wasn't too sure on what to do with this assignment, but then I decided to do a sugar skull type thing. I used a reference picture of a basic skull and then free handed the design onto his face using the brush tool with a light gray color that had very low opacity. It was very difficult at first as I started using a mouse, but then I switched over to using a surface pro 4 that had a pen attachment which made the entire process so much easier. And much like the last one, I swapped his eyes as well with the same person I used for the last assignment.

Photoshop Face Swap

Simple photoshop assignment that I completed in class. I didn't want to swap the entire faces of two different people, so I shot two pictures of my classmates and only swapped their eyes. So after editing, this was the outcome. Overall I'm pretty happy with the edit and I think it's pretty believable.

Black and White Painting Part 3

Part 3 of my black and white acrylic painting series. This one is a little different from the other two because I added some different kinds of texture on the forehead area using a mix of cotton balls and tissue paper saturated in white acrylic paint. I think it gives the painting a bit of an edge and a distinct look.

Black and White Painting

This is one of three paintings I did. They're acrylic on canvas, and all of them were done using only black acrylic paint. It was definitely a challenge trying to keep all the lines clean and not smear any of the paint, but I really enjoyed painting all of them because it was something different that I had never tried before. Overall, I think they turned out very well.

Traditional Native American Art

Some ink illustrations. This is a more modern version of a traditional Navajo Yei bi Chei piece. it's done on cardboard and I used a large variety of markers and pens including, sharpies, inks, alcohol based,  paint markers, and ball point pens. Because of the brown tone of the cardboard, the pinks didn't come out as vibrant as I wanted them too, but I think the overall composition turned out much better then I had planned.

Ethnic Diversity

Acrylic on canvas. Just trying to paint some different ethnicities and experiment with different skin tones. I think I could have done her eyes differently now that I see the finished product, but overall I'm happy with the colors and shading. The accent colors framing the picture are a little on the weird side, not really sure what I was trying to do, but I think the piece turned out as close to how I originally envisioned it.
