Second week of Intro to Digital Art


The second week of class was nice. I have been enjoying it, and I honestly can't wait to learn more about digital art. I'm especially excited for the illustration assignment that is to come near April (I wonder what it is?). One thing that stood out to me, and honestly, was shocking for me, was when we were assigned the copyright assignment last week, and I didn't know that copyright laws applied in that way! Everything that I've drawn, according to the law, is under my copyright. I've always assumed that you had to go to the courthouse to sign a document to have your stuff be under copyright or something similar to that. This honestly makes sense since I have seen people, especially those abusing the copyright system, be able to use their copyright, even if they have never set foot in a courthouse. 

As well, the digital self-portrait was pretty fun to do and was definitely a new experience for me. Not in the sense of making self-portraits, since I've made plenty in the past, but more as using Adobe Express. Adobe is one of the leading companies for art programs, I think, and since their services are very popular, many professionals use them. I feel that learning Adobe Express is going to be a benefit for me in the future because, while I probably may not be using Express, I might use other programs that are similar in nature to it (not only from Adobe), so learning how to use its tools and controls would be good for me.

Here's a comic that I've been working on recently. I'm trying to create a scene where a pair of adventurers are tasked with fixing something, so the man with the long chin (lol) asks his partner if she has put everything in place correctly. She proclaims that she did, but it's found out to be not true, so she starts to panic. I've done the line work with pencil and a 0.30-micron pen, and the reason why the image looks weird in the middle is that I used the stitch feature of my scanner while scanning, since the original paper for the comic was too big.
