Final Sphere

This is my final sphere and I incorporated all of the components of the sphere that are necessary and labeled them all in the layers.  I think that my sphere looks pretty good I struggled with it a lot so I started over multiple times but overall I think it turned out alright.  For the shadow I looked up a tutorial online because whenever I tried to do it with the brush it did not turn out looking normal but with this tutorial I think that it turned out looking pretty good.  Overall it was really hard to make it look like a sphere and I think that the reference picture looks realer but I tried to make it look as good as I could.

Blending Practice with a Mask

This is my practice with the mask, and my goal was to create a circle that looked as if light was hitting it so you cold see the light and the shadows.  Overall it was a good way to practice blending and doing so in a mask is nice because it is easier to not mess up.  Also this practice will help me create my sphere because I understand how the mask works and how to blend from light to dark.

Sphere

Today I was able to work on my sphere.  I think that the shadow is too dark so next class I will have to fix that.  I am having a lot of problems recreating the shadow because of the edges and how dark it needs to be.  Also today I added the spotlight and I think that it looks nice.  Overall I think that if I keep working with the sphere it will eventually be perfect.

Sphere

This is my sphere that I have started to work on, and I think it is coming along nicely.  I had to start over because my first sphere did not look good, it definitely looked very over worked.  This sphere is coming along well and I think that all of the shading looks good and hopefully next class I will be able to create a nice shadow.

Brush Flow

These are the two pictures where I was able to created a flow across the picture.  I have noticed that it was a lot more difficult to blend colors that were not similar like the pink and green but overall I think that it is a good representation of blending colors.

Brush Testing

On these pictures I used the brush tools to make different pictures.  On the first picture I thought it was really cool all of the textures you could create with the brush and I think that some of the brushes create cooler textures if their opacity and flow is changed.  On the second picture I was just changing the flow and opacity to see how I could blend different colors. With the third picture I used the brush tools to kind of create a scene, I like how all of the different colors blend together in this picture.

Painting 1

This is the first painting I worked on and so I just focused on the flow and opacity tool.  One of the things I think will be harder is blending out the colors, but at some parts I think it looks cool layered.  I think I like the flow tool better because it seems a lot more natural than the opacity tool.
