I was inspired by a creative and unique editing video I saw on Instagram when creating this piece. I chose an image of myself at a museum and used it as the base for the artwork. To create the final piece, I combined a total of 6 images, Consisting of Myself, a moon, planet Earth, Mars, a UFO (from an old asset pack I had from a while back), and a portal, as well as some assets that I had previously created in Photoshop. The most challenging part of this project was ensuring that the lighting and perspective were consistent throughout and that the blending of the UFO and portal was seamless. Overall, I am really proud of how this piece turned out and will continue to do things like this in the future.

This Spiderman line artwork holds a special place in my heart. Not only was it my first project in learning the basics of the program, but it was also a tribute to one of my childhood heroes. The colors of Spiderman’s costume represent everything I admire about him – heroism, bravery, strength, and courage. Although the project was challenging, with a lot of time spent mastering the pen tool and curving selections, the end result was well worth it.
