Liberty Bell


I made this bell after the famous Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. This bell is made of a semi circle and a square. I made the bell by taking a square and pushing in the sides. Then I did the gradients for shading and the white is another bell just with a gradient that is white to transparent. Then after I did all the gradients and shading I made the crack, which I made it with the Bezier tool. So its really not that hard to make the Liberty Bell with vector graphics.

Cartoon Head


This is a head that I made in digital art. For this head I used allot of new things. I learned how to use the bezier tool which was new to me. We learned more about how to use nodes and gradients. I also learned a new path operation called "intersect". I think that using the bezier tool for the mouth was the hardest, because it was hard to get it just right. I think that overall the image turned out very good.

Heart with gradient

This is a heart that I made with multiple hearts. I made the actual heart out of a circle. Although the main point of this id the color and gradient. For example the way it gets lighter towards the edge. The gradients can give the impression of depth. The shine if made of a blurred circle and a 4 pointed star. It may look difficult, but once you know it's quite easy.

Basic Shapes














In digital art I started to eperiment with shapes and I started to make more advanced things like the heart with shading. The little person (to the left) is made up of three basic shapes: a clover, a dog bone and circles. And there made up of even sympler things: a star a rectangle and circles. The heart started out as a circle, and the more advanced heart is made up of a few layers of hearts and a star.


I learned with this how to take a basic geometric shape and then change it and place it to make it look like like it never was a geometric shape in the first place. You can change it to be other things like, for example, a heart.
