In my first assignment I must make a profile picture for my journal, BUT I could not us a photograph of myself. That ment that I had to be creative and had to find another way to make a profile picture that represents me. I thought about maybe making an avatar of some kind, or maybe make patterns that makes up my face, but I also wanted a profile picture that actually looked like me. then it finally occurred to me, make a cartoon of myself! I first tried to draw in Photoshop and Illustrator, but I quickly found out that I need more experience to to that, drawing with my mouse proved too hard for the moment, but in time I will get great at it! I found my iPad instead and used the Adobe Fresco app to draw on. I took a selfie with my iPhone camera and made a layer I could draw on top of inn the fresco app. and right away I knew that I found the way I wanted to do this.
When I removed the picture without filling inn the colors first I was amazed of the results, and thought why haven’t I done this before! It looked like me, but it was not a real picture of myself. I then closed all the “holes” in the drawing and filled it with color. Heres the result, with the real picture next to it:
In the future I want to learn how to use software like photoshop or illustrator, that way I can go more into details and make a much better picture of myself and others. I have seen other artists on YouTube and other sites do it and I’m amazed of the results every time. I aspire to be that great and even be better inn every field in the graphic design field. This is what I want to do and I will give it my all to become great!
