I used the Adobe Illustrator image trace tool to simplify the image and limit the number of colors. I then brought the image to Photoshop and used the mixer brush tool to blend the rough edges and create the illusion of a painting. I selected different pieces of the image to add filters and effects. Then Kyra gave me the funny idea to switch their eyes. I wanted to see how that would look so I tried it. I thought it looked interesting and a little funny so I decided to keep it. The most difficult part of this project was challenging myself to stop comparing my work to other portraits. I found myself trying to put my work in a box and limit my creativity. The project became much more fun when I let my creativity flow freely and stopped comparing my work to other projects. Using Photoshop and Illustrator was not an issue and I enjoyed learning how to use the Wacom tablets and pens. They allowed me to use the brush tools, which I typically avoid. I am excited to continue practicing and improving my skills with the tablet and pen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my digital portrait of Jack Black.
