Reflection# 4 Photoshop

               The vector tools are very different from the brushes. One, the vector tools only lets you create shapes like a custom shape, circle, or even a rectangle. Two, while using vector tools and you choose a color, the color automatically fills in the shape. Now with brushes, you manually paint inside the object you drew. To re-create my drawing, I used all different shapes. I used the rectangle tool, the sphere tool, and the custom shape tool. Although, I used the rectangle and custom shape tool the most.
                I think the shapes were more effective on my drawing. Don't get me wrong, the brushes were useful but the shapes made the outcome of my project much more professional. Using the brushes, made my drawing look like a child drew it. Now with the shapes I was able to choose from a variety of effects in order to add them to all my layers. I must admit, with these effects "project 4" looked really good.
                The most difficult thing about working with vector images is getting the size of the shape, just right. That's pretty much what made me slow down during this whole project. Luckily, I quickly got the hang of transforming the shapes. Once I mastered this, I was easily able to scale shapes and rotate them in order to make the drawing look more professional.
                Overall (strength-wise), both my images were pretty strong. I believe that even though my picture from Project 3 was strong, Project 4 came out on top due to its great effects and colors. At the end, both of the pictures worked great together to make my final image.
