Description
While this may appear to be a thing that I made when I was bored, this is legitimately one of my final projects in my graphic design class for the year. Woohoo! Though this is technically unfinished...Related content

Well, I took a plain photo of a tortoise, edited the hues to appear greener, then I drew on some stuff with the class tablets.

DUDE THAT'S AWESOME! Let me guess, A?

Well I mean, it's not hard to get an A in that class so yeah. And he's really lenient on what we make our projects as.
π: 0 β©: 1
No he gave you an A because YOUR ART IS FREAKING AMAZING! And this is super cool!
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww, you're so sweet! But actually, I did get two of my pictures in the art show here I think...?
π: 0 β©: 1
The Opal one and the other one that I feel embarassed to show to the public.
π: 0 β©: 1
THE OPAL ONE IS BADASS! Which one did you feel embarrassed by...?
π: 0 β©: 1
The one that was supposed to have a message behind it but ended up becoming a poster for the school's care line because the teacher kept giving suggestions.

Poster for the school's care line? Oh yeah, the one with your school name. I still really wanna see that one! It's awesome how they're using it as a poster!
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't think it's going to be an actual poster, but I feel awkward making it because⦠eh, I just don't like advertising things for the school.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh... yeah. Is it just the school or advertising things in general?
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess kind of in general, because it feels really wrong. I mean, I know it's for the care line and that's a good thing, but I can't really get over itβ¦
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, well, if you do art for a career, you may need to make advertisements...
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course, of course. Tjat I am okay with, but I don't like some of my attempts at legitimate art becoming an advertisementβ¦
π: 0 β©: 1
OH. So they were using your art as an advertisement... like emotional art? Then yeah that's weird.
π: 0 β©: 1
It is kind of weird, and I just really do not like it. I mean, I didn't really pour my heart and soul into it exactly, but I just feel wrong about it...
π: 0 β©: 1
Did the teacher ask to put the picture on the ad or was he just like "lol my class my art"
π: 0 β©: 1
Not really, I made the picture first, and when I told him the meaning behind it (I made up BS because I don't know how to make symbolic imagery in one picture) he just kept adding suggestions for some reason and I don't think he realized I liked it less and less because of that.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh... agh, that sucks. I have a feeling he kept giving suggestions because he knew in advance it would be for the ad. But still, he took the picture from you.
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I think he was just trying to be helpful, but didn't realize that I didn't like it. It's not actually going to be used for the school, they still treat it as an art project, but I just don't appreciate it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, well... yeah. Even if he just gave you suggestions he should've realized it was your piece and not his.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't blame him though, I'm sure his heart was in the right place. And I mean, judging by his age he doesn't seem to be a very experienced teacher either so it's alright.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not sure, but I feel like he's in his early to mid thirties which is pretty young for a teacher.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, that is pretty young... but if he hasn't had any experience, still, assuming he's an artist he should know he shouldn't change your work...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, but eh, it's a bit too late to fix now sadly. Though I'm still having a lot of fun in the class.
π: 0 β©: 1
I cry... but I'm happy you're having fun! Do you guys have a final project?
π: 0 β©: 1
I actually don't know what the final is, but for the project I'm doing now, it's a portrait thingy of Rebecca Sugar so there's that.
π: 0 β©: 1
IT'S A PORTRAIT OF REBECCA SUGAR?! OMG OMG OMG YESSSSS
π: 0 β©: 1
YES! Well, it's more like a photo that I have to edit to resemble a painting but it still counts.
π: 0 β©: 1
AGH I TRIED REPLYING EARLIER BUT MY NEW LAPTOP IS A PIECE OF POO AAGERHERGBFDNMWKEIRUJHENM anyways Is it like a picture that you have to draw strokes over to look like a painting? Or do you apply filters? or do you paint everything from scratch?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's alright! But it's sort of like what you described. Basically we sample colors from the original portrait, desaturate the picture in a new layer, and start making shapes with those color tones that end up making the picture kind of resemble one of those paint by numbers projects, but there are no numbers involved.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh! That's super cool. I love the look of paint by numbers pictures... will you be uploading this to your account?
π: 0 β©: 1
Probably! Once it's finished of course, I've only got like a fifth of it finished so far.
π: 0 β©: 1
YAAAAAAY! I JUST LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww, thank you! Though I admit she was actually my second choice. Originally I wanted to do Mamoru Hosoda, but there weren't any good quality photos of him.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ouch. Well, either one of those would've been really cool to draw a picture of, or edit a picture of. Is it going to be monochrome?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, it's in color. But we have to make one of the layers monochrome so we can separate the different shades of gray and color them in with different shades of color that correspond to them.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahh... gosh, your teacher taught you that? That's so freaking cool! Even if he changed your assignment that one time teaching you how to do that is actually a pretty useful skill.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep! And for that assignment I am not proud of, I think he asked me if he could keep itβ¦ probably to hang it up in the classroom with the other projects. That will be awkwardβ¦
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh goodness, really? So you'll have your art that you don't like as a remnant in the classroom forever? Well, obviously he likes it...
π: 0 β©: 1
Eh, if he likes it, I guess he can keep it. But it'll be so awkward looking at itβ¦
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sorry that had to happen to a piece you liked so much, my love...
π: 0 β©: 1
It's alright I guess, if he somehow thinks it's worthy. At leave I've gotten to keep some of the stuff I made today.
π: 0 β©: 1
You made some new stuff today? Awesome! Are they mini sketches?
π: 0 β©: 1
I made it a while ago in the class, but they finally got printed out and I could hang them up in my room and stuff.
π: 0 β©: 1
WOAAAAAAH! So next time we skype I'll see them!?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah! Or, at least I'll try to. I kind of hung one up on my wall that isn't on the usual area that you see. And then one of them is a sticker that I put onto the laptop itselfβ¦
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh... okay the sticker one will be hard to see. But wow, I can't believe you guys actually printed stickers!
