Artist Reflection: Blemish No More

Before 

The strongest aspect of my work is that it is clearly noticeably that the freckles are gone. I'm not sure how the picture that is 'blemished free' became more scrunched in, but it almost enhances it by making it easier to see where the blemishes where and how they changed. I want to work on using the tools more because they where harder for me to use.

After  

The easiest part was fixing the blemishes because once I learned how to use the history brush all I had to do was click on the freckles. The hardest part was the teeth, because I couldn't remember how to select them.
I demonstrated the objective by creating a before and after because you can clearly see the difference in the two pictures. I think I would try and smooth out the skin more.

Artist Reflection: One Desaturation

The strongest thing about this work is the vocal point, it draws you to the center and makes you wonder why the artist did the vocal point. I think I need to improve the photo that I take and use different ideas. It was easy to draw and find the pictures and figure out where the vocal point should be. Nothing was difficult about this activity, the only thing that annoys me is that sometimes the picture is supper blurry like here.

I demonstrated it by  pictures that was easy to find a center point and use it. What I would do differently would be to find a photo that was different, maybe something with nature, and to create a vocal point with that.
