Cartoon Devin


      The strongest part of the piece is the line work along with the use of dodge and burn, this adds extra effect to the 2-D drawing.  It adds a sense of movement to the piece rather than it just standing still.  I could add more of a color contrast however to make the art pop just a tad bit more
      The tools I used were the pen tool for the outline and the shape of the piece, along with the direct move to change the places where each part was.  Also I used the eye dropper and bucket tool to create the color and to make the piece look alive.  To make the piece really pop Ms. Cabral used the dodge and burn tools to add highlights and shading to the artwork.
      The easy part would have to be both drawing the cartoon and coloring it, all together those took probably about 20 minutes and very little effort. The harder part would have to be outlining the cartoon in Illustrator, that part took a lot more effort and double the time.
      I demonstrated how to use the pen tool properly by outlining the cartoon with little to no mistakes.  Also I demonstrated how to color a portrait using Photoshop and the eyedropper tool to pic certain colors and play around with the hue and shadowing. Mainly learning to use dodge and burn were a big part and creating a living effect on the portrait.
      If I were to do this again I would give a background or something else to the picture to make it seem like I'm not just floating in the air. Also I would try to use the dodge and burn tool myself so I don't look like a newby.  All in all my effort is like a 7/10, I could've worked a little harder on the color and shadows.
