Retro Tech Photo Realism

My Image

1. As the artist of this piece, what was your main objective?

2. My main objective was to accurately "paint" and recreate the retro technology toy.

3. What tools did you primarily use for this project?

4. For this project, I primarily used the rounded rectangle tool to select perfect rectangles that fit the shape of the toy. I also used the pen tool to outline shapes that could not be selected with the rounded rectangle tool and to select certain text. The type tool was also an important tool that I used for this text.

5. What were some of the challenges you faced during this project?

6. A challenge I faced was trying to add gradients in order to create the perfect highlight. Another challenged I faced was adding depth to make it look more three-dimensional.

7. The goal of drawing in the Photo Realistic style is to render every possible detail, with careful attention to accuracy of shape, color, form, values and effects. Do you think you accomplished this goal?

8. Yes, I do think I accomplished the goal because I accurately added highlights, color changes, and depth where they were needed. Also, the colors I used are very similar to the ones on the original photo.
