Each week you will need to respond to two questions posted. Your response should be a minimum of 150 words for both questions. You should also include at least one response to your fellow students. The responses are a requirement for participation part of your grade.
Question 01 –
Describe two different selections tools and how they work.
Question 02 –
How can you use a brush to create a shadow in your artwork?
1. One selecting tool is the magic wand. This tool makes a selection based on the color the image has. I find this useful when you quickly want to remove a background from an image. Another selecting tool is the rectangle marquee tool. This tool makes a rectangle shape out of marching ants and selects everything within it. Using both these tools together, you can make more precise selections while using selection options like the inverse option to select something you couldn’t just with one single tool.
2.The way I used the brush to make shadow in my midterm was using a soft brush and picking tones of black/grey and go over wherever needs shadow. Sometimes you can even lower the hardness instead of picking a preset brush to get even more customizable shadow shapes in your work.
1. Describe two different selections tools and how they work.
One selection tool is the elliptical marquee tool which is a circle and you can keep it a perfect circle by holding down shift. Another selection tool is the magic wand tool which selects a color and you can change it by doing alt delete for foreground, control delete for background.
2. How can you use a brush to create a shadow in your artwork?
You can go to window menu on the top and click on brushes, then you can choose whichever brush and bring the hardness to 0, this will make the brush soft. Soft brush will create a shadow when you draw with it.
Question 01 –Describe two different selections tools and how they work.
One of the selection tool is to object selection tool where you can create a rectangle around the object that you want to select and you can also just click on the object. The magic wand tool helps you select part of an image. You can delete or change the color by pressing option delete.
Question 02 –How can you use a brush to create a shadow in your artwork?
To create a shadow you can use the soft brush in a separate lower and use the color black, then lower the opacity.
You can also change it to foreground color with control/command delete.
Question 01
Describe two different selections tools and how they work.
Two types of selections tools are the type tool and direct select tool. The type tool is is combination of everything in the layout that pertains to the font and letting size. The direct selection tool is grabbing and selecting anything you want replaced, resized, or adjusted accordingly.
Question 02 –
How can you use a brush to create a shadow in your artwork?
The brush is a touchup tool that can and will alter the appearance of shapes or an area. This tool can disguise a gradient to many different degrees and define a specific space to bring your artwork to life.
I agree, the brush tool helps in many ways and can give more detail to your already well-made work.
1. Two different selection tools can be the elliptical marquee tool which makes a selection of a perfect circle if you hold the shift key. This gives you the advantage of cutting out the circle and keep whatever is inside of the circle while your background is deleted. The 2nd selection tool can be the magic wand. This give you control of automatically deleting certain parts of an image you want to delete or select to change something. You can change the tolerance as well to select a higher amount of an object or less parts.
2. You can use the fuzzy soft brush tool to create a shadow in your artwork. By doing this you can create two layers and one of the layers you can draw a soft brush circle in black, using the soft brush gives it more of a shadow because if you use a hard brush it won’t look as realistic and un natural. After you create your shadow you can place it where ever you want.
I agree with you a soft brush creates a more natural shadows compare to a hard brush.
