This week I learned how to use the drawing tablet. Needless to say I have had one since I started this whole student experience and up until now had never used it. I can say that it was a huge mistake not to use it before now because it makes using brush tools so much easier (although I felt I was becoming pretty good drawing lines with the mouse).
This picture is modeled after a photo I took last summer. We stopped in Mexican Hat, Utah and as we went for a walk came upon a tiny herd of horses. The herd was not tiny, but rather the horses were. Miniature little things in all colors. They followed us around and of course I had my camera and started taking pictures.
In this assignment I was trying to paint a digital picture. I'm not the best artist so I was a little nervous. I was trying to create something that would be recognized for what it was. To do this I used Photoshop and the drawing tablet. I primarily used the brush tool and the various shapes, sizes, opacity, and colors that it provided.
The last question I am to answer is; "How do you feel you did?" Well, I think I did ok. I spent a lot of time and I think I could spend a lot more time. I feel I did cover the requirements of the assignment. Overall, I guess I am happy with the final product - because, hey, you can tell it is a horse!
