Digital Paint Reflection

     Though I did not have time to finish my composition, I liked the way it was starting to turn out. I believe the strongest piece of my work was the neatness of the paint. I was able to use the magnetic lasso tool to ensure that the colors were in the right lines, making the overall painting neater. There are a lot of different areas I can improve on as well. I did not start doing shading and that would have enhanced my painting more. I could have used different shades of orange, gray, and tan to make the painting look better.
     I think the easiest part of this assignment was picking my photo and drawing the outline. Picking a photo was easy for me because I really liked the different colors making up the butterfly. The drawing of the butterfly's outline was also very easy as well, since i just had to follow the lines. There were many aspects of this project that I thought were difficult. The different layers I was using were confusing to me and I was not sure which one to paint on. It also was taking a long time to grab each section of color with the eyedropper tool, using the lasso tool, followed by paint bucket to get the color on the painting. The overall process was very confusing to me, which made it hard.
     For my materials and tools I used paintbrush, eyedropper tool, lasso tool, free transform, paint bucket, multiply layers, and filters. I was planning to use other tools such as blend modes and mixer brush tool. I used my tools to start the basis of my painting such as the drawing and starting to fill in color. I believe I met the objectives of the project because I managed to use paint brush tool and eyedropper. I also used previously learned tools and used multiple layers for my composition. If I could do this again I would do it differently. I would probably used a less complicated picture, with less shades, so I could have time to finish. I would also blend colors and use the mixer brush tool as well.
