Overall i am very pleased with my work, it does resemble Julian Opie's style but the hand drawn feel of the pieces is similar to David Hockney's series of Ipad drawings. It would not have been possible for me to produce my work without learning new skills using digital effects. I have learned a variety of new skills using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and learnt methods used by other artists to create their artworks. However at first i did find using computers to create artwork very challenging as i am not oust to working on computers but after a while i overcame some of the barriers as i started to learn more about digital art.
In my work i have tried to draw influence from both David Hockney and Julian Opie, Hockney uses his finger or thumb to create the line work in his pieces, this creates imperfections that give the piece its aesthetic value.However Hockney rarely creates digital portraits like Julian Opies with strong blocks of bright color.
I feel that i have made a lot of progress over the course of this project, learning new skills to create digital pieces and using other websites like Weebly for example to create this blog. Although i am pleased with my work however some improvements could have been made, for example my outline in my first portrait could have been better as i used the wacom tablet to add color and manual methods like this often lead to imperfections, but overall i am still very happy with my work.
