Okay, this is my second project blog. So this time, I'll try to not write to much information. For the first part I created three complex graphics (each one being made of of merge drawings, object drawings and primitive shapes). Now forgive my speech because I'm no motorcycle gear-head, but these three images were each a chunk of a motor cycle. The first one being the main body with the seat and front leg (that's what I call the long thing holding the front wheel. The second was the giant back wheel with a giant primitive circle (the back wheel) and a part of a primitive ring (the thing holding the back wheel to the motorbike). The final part was the front wheel with the star as its spokes. I rearranged the the stacking order until my bike was complete. I then named that layer Ifrit-95 (the name of the new bike) and put it in a folder I named BMX before locking it and turning off its visibility.
I then began making the scenery with a green circle altered with the subselection tool, a group of lines I painted w/ my brush to make a tree on the grassy hill (my circle) as well as the green grass on it. But before I made that grassy hill, I made a sunset sky with a rectangle w/ a radial color pattern of dark red (center) and darker blue (higher) and extended the red and relocated it using the gradient transform tool. I renamed all of those layers after and put them in a folder called BG. Then I rearranged the order of the folders and turned the visibility of the BMX folder back on.
Regrettably though, I didn't have anywhere else to put my idea for a mask, so I created a new file after saving that first one. One my new first layer (the vineyard) I went with that basic-flower field deco-style. Then I made a second layer and created a creepy crescent moon and made that my first mask. But the moon had an eye so I thought I'd notice the empty pace which is the white of its eye in the mask too. But instead I had to use a symbol with the deco tool to create my eye.
As for the questions I think my order went really well because I managed to make my images as clear as day. I named my layers after what they looked like and rearranged them so they made sense. My recommendation for any graphic would be to use the merge drawing so you can let your imagination and artistic freedom to run wild. And that is all, so thanks for reading.
