Opie Self Portrait Evaluation

The tools I used to complete the Opie self portrait were:

• Magnetic Lasso Tool- Used to outline the different sections of the body and make them different layers to build up the Opie look.
• Brush tool- Used to draw the mouth and any fine details added, such as the lines in the hair or the creases in the jacket/ shirt. Also to outline the body, giving more definition to the portrait.
• Paint bucket tool- Used to add the base colour to different sections of the body before adding the extra detail. For example, I used the paint bucket tool on the hair to add the brown colour and then added the fine detail later with the brush tool.
• Eyedropper Tool- Used to get a more accurate colour of each body part/ clothing that could be seen in the picture.

I didn't find any parts of the task difficult or any of the tools. The only problem with the tools I had was when the colours were similar and I was trying to use the magnetic lasso tool as it was sticking to other objects in the background I wasn't intending it to but that was easily fixed by starting again and manually clicking where to make the points instead of letting it do it automatically.

 

I feel like I was successful in completing the task and the only change I would make is choosing a thinner brush for the mouth and making it more of a solid line instead of having it looking grainy along the outer parts of the line.
