Title: Celebrity Self Portrait
Media: Illustrator
Class: Digital Drawing
Professor: Mike Nussbeck
Term: SP 24
Institution: The University of Tampa
Description: Using various tools in Adobe Illustrator, we were tasked with recreating a celebrity’s self-portrait. The assignment emphasized the use of the Pen, Blob Brush, Paint Brush, and Pencil tools. It was a great test of both our understanding of Illustrator\u2019s features and our ability to translate an image into an illustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: Storyboard
Media: Photoshop
Class: Digital Drawing
Professor: Mike Nussbeck
Term: SP 24
Institution: The University of Tampa
Description: We selected a story from one of three prompts to storyboard in Photoshop. This assignment challenged both our illustration and storyboarding skills. I focused on conveying the story through careful consideration of camera shots, aiming to enhance the narrative visually and guide the viewer’s experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: Illustrator Character
Media: Illustrator
Class: Digital Drawing
Professor: Mike Nussbeck
Term: SP 24
Institution: The University of Tampa
Description: One of the first assignments in Illustrator was learning to use the Pen Tool. We selected a cartoon character of our choice and outlined an existing image of them using the tool. This was my third time working on a project like this in Illustrator, so I felt pretty confident with the Pen Tool by this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: Magic Whale
Media: Photoshop
Class: Digital Drawing
Professor: Mike Nussbeck
Term: SP 24
Institution: The University of Tampa
Description: This assignment focused on the fundamentals of Photoshop. I combined various photos to create a magical scene of a whale emerging from the sea. Using the masking tool, I added elements like mountains, a starry sky, and a moon. For the whale, I applied filters and effects to create the appearance of glowing water, enhancing the mystical atmosphere of the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: Movie Poster
Media: Photoshop
Class: Digital Drawing
Professor: Mike Nussbeck
Term: SP 24
Institution: The University of Tampa
Description: For this assignment, I was tasked with recreating a movie poster. I chose the live-action Beauty and the Beast<\/em>, as I had recently seen the film and had some creative ideas. To give the poster a more illustrative feel, I reduced the pixel count, which had a nice effect on the background. However, I think Belle and the Beast would benefit from different placement, or perhaps the addition of some supporting characters. I would also adjust the title by making it slightly larger and rearranging the words for better balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: Illustrator Sharks

Class: Digital Drawing
Professor: Mike Nussbeck
Term: SP 24
Institution: The University of Tampa
Description: This assignment focused on practicing with the Brush and Blob Brush tools. I decided to create a couple of shark illustrations to test the sensitivity of the brush and experiment with different brush sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title: Shape Town
Media: Illustrator
Class: Digital Drawing
Professor: Mike Nussbeck
Term: SP 24
