This is my new self portrait with an image that had a Creative Commons license. Luke the dog sliding safely into home plate. I used noise to kind of blend the layers together a bit, I was able to brush the sliding player on the original image out of the photo completely by using the appropriate surrounding colors. I posterized the photo and then inverted it and added a New York Mets color scheme.

My Adobe Illustrator Self Portrait. I wanted to try my hand at digitally recreating a picture I drew with colored pencils a few years ago. I enjoy going out in the city and seeing live music. Also wanted to add a title to the piece. I used two layers, the first one was for the buildings and the sidewalk, the second was for everything else. I mainly used the brush tool for everything except the border in which i used to rectangle tool. I meant to make the building on the left seem like it was laughing and the building on the right seem a little more sad.

I added noise to the self portrait and threw some blue and orange in there as well. My illustrator self portrait is meant to look like a face that is looking at a face that is on his face.

This is my first attempt at using photoshop! My self portrait is a picture of my brother’s dog Luke sliding in to home plate during a baseball game. I love baseball specifically the Mets and Luke as well!

These are the links to the images I used for this picture:

And the picture of Luke the dog was a picture that was sent to me by my brother.
