For my portrait, I used the brush tool, the pencil tool, the eraser, the color palette, the mixing brush tool, the eyedropper tool, and a drawing tablet. Something I learned about this assignment is that with the eyedropper tool, it instantly takes in the color of whatever you’re clicking. First, I took a picture. Second, I emailed it to myself and opened it on Photoshop. Third, I created a new layer and named it “Sketch”. Fourth, I went back to the first layer and lowered the opacity. Fifth, I traced the details of the picture. Sixth, I used the eyedropper, paintbrush, eraser, and mixing brush tool to color in the highlights, midtones, and shadows of my picture. Finally, I created a gradient fill layer for the background and moved the fill layer to the bottom. If I were to do anything different, it would be the picture because that picture, I just chose randomly. I could’ve done a better expression. My favorite part of this assignment was everything. I never thought doing portraits online would be so much fun and easier than drawing portraits by hand. The way my portrait relates to my classmates is that it's a self-portrait and we all used the same tools. I would say in the picture that I chose, I am somewhat judging at times. You can see one eyebrow being lifted up and I’m not really smiling. I do that whenever I see people doing something weird, rude, or doing something just flat-out stupid. I just think “They need a life…”
