Digital Painting !

Zebra Face Overlay !

I used a zebra print for my facial overlay. I used 2 layers because mine was quite simple. My first layer was my original picture that I took from facebook because I decided not to take a picture. After adding the second layer, which was the zebra print, i dropped its opacity all the way down to 9%. After that, I erased the zebra from the eyes and my lips and tried to liquefy distort the nose and chin so that it looked more 3D and realistic. Overall i dont mind the finished look but I could have added lots more detailing if I had more time.

Surrealism !

'Racing into bad weather' by: Jillian Bulger

 In my surrealistic picture, I used a tornado storm sky for the background and a canyon cliff as the foreground land image.In the background behind the cliff into the sky you can see my clock. I took this picture and dropped the opacity then placed it behind the cliff to blend into the picture. Instead of using a regular egg i chose to do a chocolate kinder surprise egg with a clock inside as the surprise. The race car is used on the canyon because i thought the lines on the rock looked like a road. I used a finish line for my horizontal piece instead of a lamp post object. All together I do not like the overall outcome of this picture. I feel like it is all over the place and does not have a specific story or meaning .

Pop Art !

These are my pop art faces. I used primary colours in the bottom version, complimentary in the middle, and random pretty colours in top version.
As my picture is very simple I tried to jazz it up by using bright colours that somewhat contrast. My favourite is the bottom one with the blue red and yellow colours because they contrast very well and show the features of my face. My least favourite is the top picture because I felt I rushed it and the colour choices weren't the best. The purple in the background is a little bland and doesn't work very well with the hair colour. Overall Im not so happy with my pictures and believe if I spend more time I could have done a lot better.

Advent poster !

I took a picture with a camera of the scenery setup in class. I used 'fresco' filter to make it look the way it does. I also added a lens flare in the top right corner to add a glowing affect. Then i made green boxes behind the main words(keeping christ in christmas). i changed the opacity behind the boxes so that it wasn't to over-powering. I then added the WCDSB sign. I took all the white colouring from behind the logo and added a white box on another layer. I changed the opacity on the layer with the white box. For my bible passage i used Luke1:35. I made 2 layers for this , one in green , and one in white. I over-lapped these layers to make it look like a shadow.

Luke 1:35And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy–the Son of God.

Black and White images ! Second image

I took this image of a pink lock on a locker. I then cropped and changed it to black and white. The focal point is the lock itself. I used the poster edges effect and made it look like a cartoon.

Black and White images ! First image.

This picture was taken upstairs in the math hall looking out to the window . The focal point of this picture is the person, but the background adds to the overall look. I transformed it into black and white and made it look aged using the brush strokes tool, dark strokes. Then i added an image from google of a figure looking out the window. This added more of an eerie/aged look.

New kid in class !

This is Julia , she is new at OLOL. She is very self-contious of her long neck. She likes to play sports such as volleyball and tennis , her favourite subject is English. She is an honour student and hopes to fit in well here at Lourdes.
If i were to do this assignment again , i would try to blend the neck and new body better as well as making the hair look more realistic.
I merged Erin's, Nick's, Jeff, and myself.

About me !

1. My name is Jillian Bulger. I enjoy art and making creative things , as i am a creative person. I want to get a better understanding of how the computer can help me express myself as an artist.
2. I liked the artwork of Josh Sommers because it was unique and interesting . I feel that if i looked at it longer and tried to understand it , it would tell a story .

3. I agree with these studio rules and will have no trouble following the requirements.

4. I feel this quote is real and means something to me personally. I believe it is true that an artist sees things different and takes it their own way and makes a picture something beautiful.
