If you stare at the center black dot, slowly but surely the colors disappear.

This year in Digital Arts 1, I came in as a newbie, not knowing anything. My sister before me took all the years of Digital Arts possible and is on her way to achieve her major in art. Myself on the other hand knows nothing about art and admittedly did not enjoy the first weeks of the class. The more I learned and the harder I tried I began to achieve more than I could have hoped. Mrs. Thompson helped me through the entire semester (no matter how obnoxious I was).  By the end, I can proudly say I enjoyed the class and all the came with it.      
This was the first landscape that I could proudly say this is mine. I found four colors that I liked from "colour lover" and smeared them into mountains, the sky, and body of water. To make the reflection I extended the canvas, duplicated the picture, flipped it, and used ocean ripple.
The second pop art that I did was more of a side project. I took my picture shaded in the shadows and created the background to match. The process in all was simple but tedious. 


For my pop art project I thought it to be hilarious to add some facial because in fact, I’m too much of a boy to actually grow any. The actually aspect of sketching myself was very easy but trying not to look too much like a drunk was very hard. I eventually managed to get my appearance down to an acceptable form. This pop art project had the most reward for the amount of effort given. Simple yet rewarding
This is my first (non scraped) space scape. I used the tornado brush for the gas cloud and the dodged it. If you look closely to the planet is has a small rift in it to show more of a realistic formation. It shows the perspective of a sun on the upper left conner.

This master piece is what I made during our "mythical beast" project. The caption describes the creature as a "denim" monster. I used jean texture to make the spikes, straw for the tiny feet, and snake leather for the scales. It inhabits a small planet called "Terra Magma" (which my neighbor Ryan H. likes to harass me about :P).
