Dude, you got it all over!

This is my "Sticky situation" project. I came up with this idea because I thought about when you spill something like juice, or soda it makes things all sticky. I used acrylic paint, and melted crayons. I think using melted crayons was "thinking outside of the box"  I created repetition with the cups in the photo. I think the mini lessons were good practice, and also helped with deciding which kind of paint is suited best for me. 

This is a picture I took while  I was melting the crayons. The way I did it was I glued crayons down to the canvas after I painted it, and melted them with a hair dryer.

How I made this was I drew it in photoshop, and colored it in illustrator. Then I added the shapes in illustrator as well. I'm not a big fan of illustrator. I think I could have done a much better job coloring it in photoshop. The only thing I like in illustrator is how easy it is to make shapes, and how when you use the bucket tool it doesn't leave a little ring of the color the object use to be like in photoshop.

I think the program would be really good for minimalist, but that's not really my style.

Up Close and Personal

I came up with the idea for this because I thought people could get into a fight over getting a little too up close and personal. It's supposed to look like their are two groups of people going in different directions. The guy in the black shirt gets too close to the group going in the opposite direction and then bumps the guy in the hoodie.  He gets angry unusually angry about it and punches him. I also made it "up close and personal" by getting closer to the characters in each panel. I added emphasis by making the bystanders grey, and the people involved in the fight are colored. I also added emphasis by adding that little comic book thingy at the end. I don't know what it's called.
