FFA233; Digital Ink & Paint: Introduction to Adobe Illustrator (Vector Tracing)


Assalamualaikum 🙆


So, on 6th of October we were introduced for the first time to use Adobe Illustrator. It was different yet familiar looking. We learned some shortcut keys and get a better understanding of the interface and then learned some basic things like adding texts and making the fonts our own.

Then, finally we were given a task to trace this monkey. I never thought in my life tracing would be this complicated but at least I've got it done.




The left one is the original one while the right one is obviously mine. I did a lot of attempts to reach the result that satisfies me. There were so many ways to do this, yet I don't know if mine is right or wrong. I had to trace every lines one by one using this 'Pen' tool. I did a mistake which is not taking screenshots of each progress so that's not good ahaha.

Anyways, even though this is a little hard to get used to, it has therapeutic effect on me while following the lines. Would be great if I'll master Illustrator soon!

FFA231; Mechanic of Motions: Week 1 (September 28th 2017)

Rope & Coil and Impromptu Acting Hi, the first class of mechanic of motions left me with shock because I never thought we had to do physical activities like acting and doing exercises with friends. Apparently this class actually will help you understand how different people or objects interact with the environments or different scenes. In the first class, we had two exercises which were Rope and Coil and impromptu acting. Unfortunately, for the first exercise I couldn't participate because there were only two girls in my class which wasn't enough people for the game. But just by looking at the boys, they had to make a group, stand in a circle and clinging to each other as if you're somewhere really high and standing on a rope. They were challenged to organize the circle by name in alphabetical order. If they break the circle they were considered lost or 'they fell from the rope and probably die'. These boys actually succeed the game and no one dies. Next

OH MY GOD HI ITS FINAL ALREADY. Can't believe its already final week full of presentations, submissions and headaches. But here it is, my final work for Digital Ink & Paint. With the theme of steampunk i came out with this. My main idea for this work is obviously underwater probably because being on the ground is mainstream. Playing around with colours, brushes and effects has been fun with photoshop but I still couldn't get used to sketching on photoshop that's why I use both Paint Tool SAI and Adobe Photoshop. My work is 100% paint without using any superimpose.  This class in many ways have improved my drawing skills and more. The class was also interesting, fun and full of knowledge. Having a very supportive and great lecturer is also a plus too! I'd definitely miss this class and also my classmates 💕 RAW Photoshop file HERE
