Pen Tool Self Portrait Cartoon

The strongest area of my work was creating the facial expression because I felt as if it was really easy to give my cartoon a happy facial expression. The areas of my work that can be improved on is the hands, and the line up because it was very challenging to make them look identical, one side always comes out bigger or smaller than the other one. The easiest part about this activity was coloring my cartoon because I already knew what colors I wanted to use and how I wanted it to look. The difficult part about this activity was drawing the cartoon, I struggled on drawing the face & body. The materials I used in Illustrator were the pen tool, I used that for sketching out the cartoon. In Photoshop I used the brush tool to color my cartoon, the dodge and burn tool to make my cartoon darker or lighter, the ellipse tool to make the pupils for my eyes, and the quick selection tool to select certain parts of my cartoon to color. I demonstrated the objective in this art activity by drawing an original image of myself in a cartoon format, and generating a pen tooled digital cartoon over an original drawing in Illustrator and apply color in Photoshop. If I could do this art activity again I would give my cartoon a different facial expression, give it different clothing, and a different hairstyle.
