Orfil_animal_pointillisim_2013

This is my pointillism animal as you can see it is a penguin. I started off by opening up an image of a penguin in adobe fireworks CS3. The rest was fairly easy I just used the paintbrush tool, used the size 10, and made lots of dots on the penguin and the background and to get the colors I just clicked the down arrow on the color box and then clicked on the image. For example when I did the penguins head I clicked on the down arrow and then clicked on the penguins head to get the exact color, which is why you can see many different shades of gray and black and white. If you look closely you will see that some dots are bigger than others. Most of the dots on the background are a size 10. Some are size 8. On the penguins head most of the dots are size 5 and some are size 3 and on the body all of the dots are size 10. I also made my canvas color a dark gray so that the penguin would stand out a little more.
