Tattoo

1.) I think that the strongest area of my work was drawing the tattoo, because I spent a lot of time putting lots of detail into it.
2.) I think that my work could be improved by making the tattoo seem more realistic by using getting used to using the dodge and burn tools more.
3.) I think that the easiest part of this project was cropping the tattoo, placing it and using the dodge and burn tools.
4.) The hardest part of this project for me was drawing the tattoo solely because it took the longest amount of time and that was the part I put the most effort into.
5.) During this project, I used the move tool to place the tattoo on my arm, I used the quick selection tool to remove the background tool, I used the eraser tool to erase the part of the tattoo that wasn't on my skin. I used the dodge tool to lighten the tattoo where the sun hit my arm and the burn tool to darken the shadow where the shadows were.
6.) I demonstrated the objectives in this activity by choosing a picture that followed the rule of thirds, I used blend modes to blend the tattoo into my skin and I used the dodge and burn tools to make the tattoo look more realistic and I used the blur tool to blend the edges.
7.) If I did this project again I would draw a different tattoo and take a different picture to put the tattoo in an entirely different place and I wouldn't spend so much time trying to remove the white space within the tattoo. Instead of wasting about three classes using the polygon lasso tool, I would just remove the background and put use the blend mode multiply.
