This year Pictoplasma held a competition where artists had to send in pictures of their characters taking "selfies"
The first thing that made me think of using a dinosaur character was that it would have tiny little arms and so taking a selfie would be a hilarious struggle. The dinosaur itself was fairly easy to draw, it was just the scaly texture of the skin that was hard to replicate using brushes and so I used a number of different textures in order to add diversity to the skin depending on where the scales were placed on the body. If you look closely you will notice a different pattern of scales on its head arms and body.
Strengths- I had an idea straight away for the competition. Whilst I made other sketches to make sure I had done enough research I eventually stuck with my original idea.
Weaknesses- The scales were the hardest part of this picture to create as I had to shape the cut out textures I used and subtly blend them together
Opportunities- I had the opportunity to enter a famous competition where judges will have seen my work
Threats- I could have tried to use illustrator to do this piece of work but I chose to stick to Photoshop instead of taking a risk.
