Digital Portrait

For my first digital portrait, I used a picture of Carissa who was smiling. I was trying to communicate the emotion of cheerfulness. I used the photocopy filter to make the image look like a photocopied image. To create the image I used auto colour fix and auto sharpen. Then I used the contrast tool to make the contrast be a bit more darker to make one part more visible when I used the filter. After I used the filter I cropped the picture to put her a bit more to the left side of the picture.

For my Second digital portrait, I used a picture of Jamie who was not smiling and looking serious. I was trying to communicate the emotion of serious. I used the graphing pen filter to make the image look like a drawing. To create the image I used auto colour fix and auto sharpen. Then I used the filter and I adjusted the filter to make it like more like a normal black and white picture then a sketch, but still have some of the look of a graphing pen. After I filtered the picture I cropped it to take away some of the space on the left of the picture.

For my third and final digital portrait, I used a picture of Cameron who was posing in a depressed manner. I was trying to communicate the emotion of sadness and despair, but overall depression. I used the pastel filter to make the image like a pastel drawing. To create the image I used auto colour fix and auto sharpen. Then I used the filter and played with it to get it to look like an actual pastel drawing then a normal photo. I had some difficulties to whether or not to leave it in colour or to change it to black and white. I chose to leave it in colour because if I didn't then the pastel filter wouldn't really show and it would looked like a normal black and white picture. After I used the filter I cropped it to make his face be more on the left side.
