Week 3 Results

Hello! It's Ella here posting my week 3 results!

Q. What did you think when you saw the week's task?

A. I thought that the characters were all pretty grotesque, and I wondered how I was going to tackle it!

Q. How do you feel about your results?

A. Considering I didn't really know what I was doing, I'm not too unhappy with it. I feel I let myself down in the execution. I kind of liked my interpretation of the character, but I don't think I did a great job rendering it in colour. I think if I had done it by hand first, then coloured in photoshop, it would have been better!

As you can see - I also ran out of time! But it is my first week back on my MA, so...that's my excuse!

My final thoughts/excuses are that I layered things so they were difficult to move around, that's why the lamps are floating! And I can see now I'm posting it, that I didn't follow the layouts properly, I shrank my image to fit the text in, and now I can see I didn't need to, because I could have put the top text box above the square - D'oh!

Q. What was the part of the challenge you enjoyed least?

A. I wasn't inspired by the subject matter - soz Tor!

Q. And the most?

A. Interpreting the character. And I also do enjoy using ProCreate, even if I'm not happy with the results.

Q. Did you learn anything?

A. That I can interpret a character!

Q. Any final thoughts?

A. I think I drew Donald Trump!

Q. How do you feel about your results?

A. I'm happy with this picture, it's pretty silly but that's good.

Q. What was the part of the challenge you enjoyed least?

A. Nothing, it was fun and quick.

Q. And the most?

A. I liked using good old halftone again, and trying to imitate the colours and look of a blown-up panel.

Q. Did you learn anything?

A. No, I just enjoyed drawing a silly alien guy.

Q. Any final thoughts?

A. I think Ella drew Donald Trump too haha! But I also really like Els's picture - she totally interpreted the character and it looks like her own style!
