Category: Self Portrait

I already finished my self portrait, but working in photoshop was honestly so eye opening. Photoshop works just like my art program, Clip Studio Paint. Working with new brushes was a bit hard, but i started to get the hang of it.

I’ll include the portrait into this entry too.

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.

I just recently took a trip to the KSA, to perform Umrah, and found it a unique experience. Hopefully I can find the opportunity to perform another Umrah, Insha’Allah.

My self portrait represents a lot of important things to me. The elements I added were a Sea angel, Candy sharks, Ponyo, the silly drawing from Turning Red, and myself! Both my moon and rising signs are water signs, which I feel like makes me more connected to the ocean! I adore sea animals such as sharks and sea angels, which I tried intergrading into the piece with the candies and figurines! I also added a reference to my favorite movie Ponyo and Turning Red too. I love both these movies so much, due to how they inspire me to always create art.
