From black & white to colour (GIMP)

Here you can find the black and white portrait that we are going to use.

Using the heal tool (GIMP)

GIMP is a multi-platform photo manipulation tool. GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. TheGIMP is suitable for a variety of image manipulation tasks, including photo retouching, image composition, and image construction.

The majority of the models we see on the media have been digitally altered.

We’ve all seen ads featuring impossibly beautiful people. Most advertising is aspirational: show customers the ideal, the person they want to be — the person they could be, if only they had your product - and motivate them to buy.

But what if “impossibly beautiful” isn’t a metaphor? What if it’s literal?

Well, in an increasing number of countries there are laws about that. Your image may be slapped with a warning label.

The Healing Tool is a close relative to the Clone Tool, but it is more smart yo remove small failures in images. A typical usage is the removal of wrinkles in photographs. To d so, pixels are not simply copied from source to but the area around the destination is taken into account before cloning is applied.

 Here you have the picture that we are going to use now. Download it and save it to the desktop. Once you finish upload it to your Google Drive folder (the one you´ve shared with me) as xcf (the native extension of GIMP) to let me see the layers you have been working on.
The second part is to choose another picture on the internet to improve it the way you´ve done here.

Here you have the video as well. Download it and this way you won´t depend on the internet connection.

One Point Perspective

As you will find out on the video below PERSPECTIVE can be defined as a method of drawing three-dimensional objects in space on a two-dimensional surface to achieve the right impression of reality, depicting objects´sizes and positions in relation to each other.

This is a tutorial on how to draw a room on one point perspective.

We´ll draw a 16 m2 room using one point perspective. You can find examples on the presentation below.

P CÓNICA

Publish at Calameo or read more publications.

Try to find the elements of One-Point Perspective on the picture on the left:
-Horizon line (H)
-Vanishing Point (VP)

Notice that there are only three types of lines:
Vertical lines, horizontal lines and diagonal lines.
Whilst vertical and horizontal lines look the same, diagonal ones seem to be crooked. They all meet at the vanishing point.

By clicking on the image you´ll acess a GeoGebra´s applet. You can interact with it and try to find the Vanishing point on famous Antonio López´s paintings.
Antonio López is one of the great figures of  the hyper-realist school.

Orthographic Projections

Here you can find an example. I have used these colours on purpose.

Yellow= FRONT ELEVATION

Magenta= SIDE ELEVATION

Cyan=PLAN VIEW

Here you have a presentation where you can find a good explanation of the way we can get Ortographic Views  of a solid.
Bellow you can find an interactive GeoGebra´s Applet to play with and to easily get to understand how this system works.
