IRES Day 9

Today I decided to just sticking to finish the portfolio first after I talked to Mr. Fitzer. He suggest that I fix the arms/tentacles (which I was going to do anyways) and have them appear lower so they can move around and make a sweet animation.


So for now, I hid the tentacles layers that I made so I can extend the head/body of the octopus to the edge. I then used the brush tool to finish making the popcorn and filled it in with a solid color.


Here's what I have so far...

IRES Day 8

Today I continued working on the basic outlines of my portfolio. I just took the pen tool and finished making arms/tentacles for my octopus. I think I should re-make them because they don't look so smooth. But here's what I got so far for it....

I decided to move onto the resume to finish working on that. I fixed the colors on my fish by filling in the colors with a gradient fill to create more effects on it. And to make it look cooler I guess.

I also colored in the shirt of the mermaid with an orange color but with the brush tool because the paint/fill tool wouldn't work. So it took me a little while to get that finished. So here's what I got so far....

IRES Day 7/ Week 1

Thursday we played a very interesting game which led me to not have time to update that day. And Friday was no school and Elijah's birthday. Happy late birthday to him! =]





Today I decided to go back to working on my portfolio. The one with the octopus. I continued using the WIACOM tablet to finish drawing the popcorn below. I also used the line tool to create the soda machine and the rectangle shape tool. After that, I used the pen tool to create the arms/tentacles of the octopus. I hid the candy so that you could see the tentacles/arm.

IRES Day 6

Today I continued working on the resume. The mermaid is still there but I still need to fill in the colors. The bucket tool wouldn't fill in the desired places so I used the brush tool with much time.

I also decided to trace the fish by using the pen tool once again. I used the gradient fill tool to create a better effect on the fish. And I quickly made some buttons on the cell phone I made. It will look like one due in time.

Here's my work so far...

IRES Day 5

Today I decided to take a break from working on my portfolio and start on my resume.


In my resume, I decided to start on the mermaid. I remember Mr. Fitzer telling me to take my time so that's why I only have the mermaid so far. I used the pen tool once again to trace the lines and used to bucket tool w/ a gradient color to make a better effect to show emotion.


Here's what I go so far. What do you think?

IRES Day 4

Today I continued working on my portfolio in flash. Once again I used the pen tool to trace most of the lines and this time I added some color. I used the gradient tool to add more effects. Especially in the eyes to create more emotion.

I also used the Whack-a-man-tablet(sp?) to draw out the little scribbles for the popcorn. I thought that'd would create more details if I used the thing to draw it out for future detailed tracing of the drawings.

Here's what it looks like so far. Pretty spiffy huh? xP

IRES Day 3

Today I decided to start tracing the outlines of characters and objects of my portfolio instead. I got frustrated with my main menu because I was rushing with it. So I put that aside for now.

Well here's what I got so far for my portfolio.

IRES Day 2

Yesterday I got back to tracing the outlines of my characters of my main menu in flash. But it didn't last that long because of a field trip we had.


Today, I also did the same thing but added more layers to each character so I can animate them later. Here's what I got so far...

Voila! Merci

IRES Day 1

Today I opened up my saved image of my IRES sketches in Photoshop to alter the contrast. Then I opened up Flash and imported the picture sketch of my main menu.

I started to trace the characters into each individual layers. And the objects around them. Here is what I got so far.

I only just started today so that's why it doesn't look so well.
