In class, we learned how to use the Pen Tool. We learned to make unique shapes and designs using the Pen Tool in the first three exercises (i.e. the superhero exercises), and we also learned how to cut shapes or clip shapes/things using the Pen Tool in the Penny exercise. In that exercise, we cut out the face of Abraham from the coin and clipped the image so that it was just Abraham's head. The Pen Tool is a well, a tool that allows people to create many varying shapes. And also allows them to clip images by drawing another shape over the image and clipping it. My final illustration/image is the product of a weird conversation I had with an online friend where we were discussing our lust for hot chocolate and watermelons and admiration for penguins. And that's how this monstrosity was brought to life. I replaced the marshmallows that should be in the hot chocolate with watermelons. Then, I placed a penguin to just chill in the hot chocolate, and added two extras since I thought the image looked too one-sidedly detailed. Some challenges I faced with this project was that for a very long time, no matter where I put the chilling penguin, it just didn't look right. I overcame this annoyance by just cutting off the legs to actually make the penguin seem like its in the hot chocolate instead of just, standing on its surface.
