Cartoon Character

          My strongest work was probably playing with the dodge and burn tool to make the color better for the pants and shirt. It gave my cartoon character more of a glow and made the colors of his clothes look less dull. The area that I could've improved on was the background. It looks kind of thrown together.
          The easy thing about this project was to play with the colors and get a good color for the pants and the shirt. I really like the color of the pants I got, I went for a khaki look and I think I did a pretty good job getting the color. I found using the pen tool to outline the cartoon character that I drew hard. Getting the lines right and in the right position to shape things like the head and hands. It took me some time to actually use the pen tool and outline my cartoon character.
          I used the burn and doge tool to play with the colors. I used the burn tool to make my pants a darker color to give it like a shadow look and make it look better. I used the dodge tool to make the other part of pants lighter to make it seem like the sun was hitting it lighting it up. I also used the pen tool to draw my cartoon character. I used it in the Illustrator and after outlined the character I put it into Photoshop to add color. I also used the paint bucket tool to make it easier to just put the color in the image. I think I demonstrated the goal because I wanted to give it a soccer feel but also show that the character can also be dedicated to more than just soccer. He's working hard at soccer, and other things too. If i could do this activity again, I would change the background. It looks dull and could be better. Maybe make the grass seem like a turf field, and make the soccer net in the back better.
