04 Painted Portrait

 



In this piece, I worked to combine black-and-white photography with vibrant digital painting techniques. I set the original photo to Multiply layer mode, which allowed the grayscale tones to blend seamlessly with the colors I painted on the layers below. My goal was to transform the photograph into something dynamic and expressive while maintaining its original texture and depth.

I used realistic skin tones and added bold colors, like the vibrant red for the clothing and an earthy tone for the hat, to create a strong visual balance. I paid close attention to shading and layering multiple hues, especially around the face, to add dimension and keep the subject’s features true to life. For the background, I experimented with abstract vertical patterns to create contrast and give the piece a more modern, stylized feel.

 Looking back, I feel that the black-and-white abstract background patterns could have been better integrated. Cleaning up the edges and refining the design would have made the background less distracting and more cohesive with the overall piece.

  Elements Line-  The road itself acts as a leading line, drawing your eyes straight towards the vanishing point. The line emphasizes depth and creates a strong sense of direction, making the viewer feel as though they’re traveling down the road. The vertical lines created by the trunks of the trees give a sense of rhythm and order. These lines can lead the viewer's eyes forward, emphasizing height and structure, while also creating a pattern that can create symmetry.    The straight, angular lines of the building's design create a sense of precision and order. The lines guide the viewer's eye across the photo, highlighting the architectural details and creating a dynamic composition that feels structured and intentional.

Principles

 Principles Balance The reflection creates a symmetrical balance, where both the bridge and its reflection share equal visual weight. This makes the image feel stable and harmonious, as if both halves of the photo are perfectly matched. the boat and ray of sun balance each other because they hold equal visual importance. This creates symmetrical balance, where different objects still create a sense of equilibrium within the photo. The trees are the focal point and are framed by the mountains, which are spread out evenly across the image. This creates symmetrical balance, where both sides of the photo feel equally weighted, giving it a peaceful and stable appearance. Contrast The dark trees stand out sharply against the bright white snow, creating a strong visual difference between light and dark. This high contrast makes the tree the focal point and emphasizes its shape, making the image visually striking. The red flowers contrast with the green grass because they are opposite colo...

Animated Logo

 Description of the Animation: The animated version of your "KSS" logo looks professional and creative. The initials "KSS" slide smoothly into the center of the screen from the left, while a circle outline grows from nothing to fully surround the text. The animation feels clean and simple, with a soft “whoosh” sound as the letters move and a light “ding” sound when the circle finishes forming. The black-and-white color scheme adds a sharp, professional look. Positive Aspects: Great Movement: The way the text and circle move makes the logo more simple memorable. It kallows people to see the logo and read the information Nice Use of Sound: The sounds fit the animation perfectly. It made it feel polished and professional without being too much. Improvements: Adjust the Speed: The animation could be sped up a little to make it feel more smooth and intentional. This would make it easier for viewers to enjoy the details. Add a Background Effect: A soft gradient or light t...
