I also created this sketch of a mans face with sunglasses. I created this using the sketch brush that is offered on the website http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/. I continued with creating the face with shoulders and hair. I do not really like the final because I couldn't step backward or erase something I wasn't pleased with. The final image is below.

Harmony 2 (Journal 3/Post 2)



Continuing with the http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/ website. I created a sketch of this snail with the brush called sketchy. This brush is my favorite so far because of the way it makes the lines hand sketched and not perfect, I like the creativity it allows you to have.

J3: Harmony 1

Harmony 1 (Journal 3/Post 1)



Ever since I was introduced the website:
http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/
I have been playing with all of the different brushes that are offered and while playing with the fur brush I drew a sketch of my dog Chloe.

I found the fur tool tough to use for different things especially the small details like the eyes because of the many details the brush adds to the specific line you are drawing.
