This is the finished product of my cartoon project and I must say that I am very proud of what I have created. The strongest aspect to this project has to be the connection of the T-shirt on my character and the background he stands in. Now if there was anything I could have improved on it has to be the jeans, due to the fact that they're black they don't give off a sense of light or darks it just remains dark altogether.
The tools I used to create this masterpiece were a scanner to place the original drawing on the computer, the pen and curve tool to outline the cartoon digitally, the brush tool to color in the whole cartoon, the dodge and burn tool to lighten and darken parts of the cartoon to give it a 3-D feeling, and finally the hue tool to change the color of the background to a deep blue hue.
To sum it all up I made a cartoon of myself and made sure it displayed my relaxed cool personality whilst making sure it looked relatively the same as me. If I had to rate my effort on this very project from a 1 to 10 I'd have to say 10 because I really did push to get this exactly as I wanted it to come out.
