Collage


My topic is social problem. With the developing of medicine, anyone can change their face as their idols but some people over-used about this so they can easily ruin themselves if they are unlucky. I used the face of super stars to mix it together such as Angelia Jolie, Paris Hilton, Jenifer Aniston and Chae rim. Besides that, I used brush tool and thread picture to make the scar for mixed face. Moreover, I used hospital picture and added some cool color, brush blood to make the feeling scared for this work. I also added radial blur to make the viewer attraction. In order to warn people, I put the knife and cut based skull and crossbones that are dead sign.
I hope you will like my entry and feel free to comments

Creating a Letter with Illustrator



Hi everyone!!!
This entry I will show you my work that is creating the letter "L" by Illustrator software. I created the 5 letters "L" by using Pen tool. I will count to follow the order from left to right and from 1 to 5
  1. That is just the normal letter L. I just draw as a normal capital L letter
  2. I tried to draw the special letter L so I drew the letter L as cartoon style. Do you feel it looks like as leg wearing NIKE shoe. Besides that, I also drew wings as a Greek God-Hermes
  3. I drew the other letter L and after I finished it I felt it doesn't look like the letter L. (T_T)
  4. I drew the other letter L again and I put it eye, nose and legs
  5. Finally, I drew it as Vietnamese calligraphy style

Hope you enjoy my work and receive your any comments. Thanks for reading
