Project 2: Shape and Color
Xiangyu Qiu
Task 1
Here is a photo that I found on Pinterest(Link:https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/586030970274394986/). I really like sunflowers but I don't have a sunflower photo yet. So I decided to use resources online. 
First, I just draw the outline of the sunflower. Then, add midtones and different shadows into it. Because I feel a little bit hard to use the mouse draw on the computer. So I did my task 1 on iPad illustrator. Which is easier for me by using an apple pencil. And then I upload them into the computer for task 2.
Task 2
In task 2, I first chose very light yellow colors that were just like the sunflower's original color. And I also made an optical illusion which is very cold and blue. 
Here are some examples that I experiment frames, shapes...
I did tried making some watercolor texture although I didn't use it in final scarf. 
I really like the texture that dry brush give to me.
Task 3
In Task 3, I selected a photo that I took last year for the background. 
Clipping Mask, copy and paste and then add effects.
And I also tried to use the watercolor texture, which looks not too bad. 
I created a green frame that fits the background. Adding shapes, circles and sunflowers. I also repeat a pattern to make the shape in the center. And now, everything is almost done.
