Digital Selfie #1

Digital Selfie number one. Through the gassiuen blur filter and de-saturizing a picture I was able to make one of my photos in a drawing esque type of picture. After adding it into a picture of my notebook-I was able to add in a few darker lines to make it more me for whenever I actually draw portraits or people. Overall I actually really like this one, but now I must move onto the next.

Flying Research

(Probably will update when I get more information)

While the picture's hard to read it's actually really helpful in showing the shape of the wings and how it helps to fly. Basically the shape of the wing is what really allows it to fly; if you look closely at a birds wings you'll notice they curve in shape eventually tapering off at the end. The curve is what allows it catch air more so of below it's wing. The top doesn't get as much air as the bottom meaning that since there's less air pushing on the top than the bottom the bird will be able to stay in motion in the air. The same thinking can be applied to planes as they base their planes of that of a bird's wings as well.

Book Character doodles

Character doodles for the main character and more of a side character at the bottom. The girl, whom I decided to name Alma thanks to my Calculus teacher, is supposed to be around the age of 10-12 giving her a more childish look and clothing style. Doing more research I found she'd probably have to be dressed in warmer clothing because of her high altitude living ( obviously in high alititude places it's much colder). The man at the bottom is her grandfather. I haven't developed him so much in personaility, but I decided to go with one of the cooky science obsessed mentor that helps Alma in her journey.
