New Project!

Our new project is to work on painting a sphere but also making it's shadows. It looks easy but it really isn't because it takes a lot of concentration. To make the sphere I used the elliptical marquee tool. Then I took some color from the example sphere to color mines. I then started to color the left side of my sphere to make some shadows. That's part difficult because I'm trying to get it just right and it looks a little uneven.

Finished Haunted House

Here is my finished Haunted House. It was a little difficult trying to get everything not to look so light. I know it's not that great but I tried. I don't think it looks that haunted just dark and my dirtiest is a little too noticeable. I thought it would be easy to create a Haunted House but it wasn't that easy. My main problem was that I didn't know what to put in the Haunted House, and there was many times when I just wanted to give up and pick another house. Also, whenever I searched for anything it was hard to find what I wanted.

Haunted House 12/3/10

In class I made my house more darker because my house was still a little to light. I want to work on getting dead grass and trees. I'm thinking about picking new grass to because my grass is a little to orange. The another thing I need to do is paint my window sill because it's too gray and it looks out of place. Or I will make a drop shadow because I did that for my other window.

Haunted House 12/1/10

Here is my house, I worked on getting my house a little more dirty. I made a new layer and color it black then I made the mask black too, so I could paint get some of the black layer onto my house. It doesn't look great yet but I do have a lot more to until this is completed. I want to go back over my house because some of the it is too dirty. I also want to add a little lightening in the tornado, put some dead trees in the background, and try fixing my grass. If possible I will try coming in after school tomorrow, before lunch and after school on Friday.

Haunted House 11/29/10

In class, I worked one fixing the rust to my house so it wouldn't look like it was too dark or to light in its place. I also leaned my house a little on the left side because I broke the porch. I also removed the that red pole located in the middle of the house. I thinking, if I should remove that bush too.

Next class in order to finish, I want to add some lightening, fix my windows, make the grass a darker color, add some dead trees, and make my house dirty.

Haunted House 11/22/10

In class, I worked on making my house darker. I also searched Google to see if I could some great dead or dried grass fields but I didn't get too much help. Most of the grass didn't look right with my house and tornado. I think I may need to paint the windows to make them all have the same color. I'm also thinking about removing the pole that's in the middle of the house.

I don't think I need to do more with the grass now that its darker, I mean I can get more grass to cover up some of it because it's a little to orange. For my roof I just got some wholes and used the magic wand to delete the white part, then I just scale some of the holes to make it a little bigger.

Haunted House 11/18/10

Today in class, I made my house bigger because it looked all weird just smaller. I also found pieces that I could put on my roof. Now I just need to found a way how to make it look like it fits and my house was really dark. To complete the house my to-do-list is:
Fit the grass
Make my house darker
Fix the roof
Do more to house like making it look dirty or old
Make the background more darker
