For my first Visual Assignment for this week, I’ve decided to do Justin Baker’s Draw it. “Take a photograph of something and transform it through GIMP, Photoshop, etc, into a drawing.” I also decided to attempt to also make it a tutorial! (:

My first thought when I saw the criteria for this work was, “I really want to make my “drawing” look like something out of a comic book.”

I started by looking through the photos on my computer and decided which photo would look amazing as a sketch. That’s when I came across this photo of my neighbor Nick! And I knew THIS was the photo I was going to work with! I pulled up the photo with my basic computer editing software which came on the computer when I purchased it, I hit the “draw/sketch” icon and BAM there it is. I also decided to mess with the contrast and color options to make the photo drawing more effective! (: This activity was fun and easy. I just used the basic software from my computer and transformed my photo into a drawing. This assignment was worth two stars (:
