Only having three milestones was a big shock for me, as I thought there were going to be a lot more from the examples I saw. Technically though, the third milestone is a repeat for another seven more milestones. As we start off, we will have to find a person that we find either challenging or to have more practice on. Then will need to find a photo to reference them off.
The second important milestone is sketching all the images we gathered, to then importing them on the computer. The final step is to put each sketch into their own Photoshop document.
Lastly but not finally, the pieces. This means that each milestone after the third one, are repeats but of different figures. These milestones include briefly adding in each step on how I create my pieces. Making sure to blend, shade, add in textures, and getting feedback near the end. Since I would love to hear the comments, bad or good because, in the end, it will just show my progress over time.
This comes down to why I set my timeline the way I did. I had a tough time thinking of how I could show my future plans and track my progress. The timeline was difficult to start off in my opinion because most of it contained just action steps and repeats. The biggest milestone I would say is sketching and finding the right photo. As it would have to fit in my own requirements (challenging and new) as I am still wanting to learn.
Carrying onto my “future plans”, I will be creating my first ever male piece digitally. This is not really a milestone, but it is a piece of a milestone as one of my references is a male figure. I am setting a goal for the next few weeks that each art piece that I deliver, will be handed in at the end of the week. This includes the action steps to be completed even if it means not being completely satisfied. I want to keep up with this goal, as I tend to take too long finishing by redoing a small mistake. By the end of the semester, I should have eight completed art pieces, hoping to have at least one masterpiece.
