Week 2


Assignment: Abraham Lincoln digital illustration.

Craft:
process: I started by outlining all of the shapes front front to back. After I would finish all of the back layers I moved to the top layers. The last step I took was putting in the details. I tried my best to make sure all of the layers overlapped so there were no gaps.
Technique: I tried to fix any gaps that there were and I went back to try and change the colors. I still have a lot to work on.

Composition:
I chose this photo because It caught my attention right away, probably because it is a close up photo. It also was a head on shot so I could see the details better than the pictures where he was facing to the side. I arranged the contents the way I did because that's the way I saw it.

Concept:
I think Lincoln should be somewhere quiet, and alone.
