Francisco Cortez Final Scene
 The Doorman 
Inspiration

My inspiration was to make something I created come to life. I have always been an artist but I have never done anything with it, so I decided to make one of my many characters come to life. I was very pleased with it but it took a long time and a lot of reading!!!

Problems and Solutions

The first problem I encountered is I didn't knowing how to build a face. So I got on the web and looked for tutorials. After many hours on the web I didn't find any. So I looked through books and found one that took you through it little steps at a time. The thing I found out was that there are no easy ways to create a person you just got to stick it out. Mirroring half the image works great cause then all you have to create is half of a person. I don't recommend switching platforms either (Mac to P.C.). The thing I learned the most was that this type of job requires a group effort and learn the extend tool.

Conclusion
This project was very time consuming but I learned a lot. I stuck it through and I was very pleased with it. I wouldn't recommend making a person for a scene unless you have a group helping you.
