Unit 23: Graphics - What have I learn't so far?

So far;

- I have learn't about Vectors/Bitmaps
- Sketching in a professional way on Photoshop
- Common Photoshop tools (helpful/useful) including the Clone tool, brush tool etc.
- The definition of Iteration and Metadata
- How to approach creating a character for a graphic design
- Assessing specific pieces of hardware and software for graphics editing/creating

All of these new skills will enable me to effectively work on graphics projects in the future, especially in terms for my next course in Information Technology that I plan to progress onto.

Unit 23 Graphics: The First Basic Sketch Of My Super Villain


I have started off by using the tablet to lightly sketch around the design I imported to Photoshop via scanning from a book. I set up the tablets pen correctly so that I could make my drawing look like it was actually sketched. I set up the flow, to about 25% and the opacity to 100%. The brush size was set to 19 and the thickness was around 80-90%. In later updates I will be finishing the sketch and adding a lot more details including weapons or other types of layers.
