(6/17/2021) Day One at Grace Baptist Church Internship

The first day at the internship at Grace Baptist Church and was three hours and sixteen minutes total. David and I were going over what type of digital media projects I could do for each week for Thursdays and Fridays. He also asked me how many hours can I do for each of those days. David wanted me to create a digital artwork based on the Parable of the Sower Illustration that he can send for the Grace Baptist Church Instagram page. David first wanted me to draw on a notebook three different bird sketches that I could do for the first part of the project. I created one realistic bird sketch, one cartoon bird sketch, and a small flying bird sketch. I then created other sketches for the dying plant and the stone ground sketch, the thorn surrounding faded flower sketch, and the flower fully bloomed sketch. David introduced me to an app called Procreate where I can take a photo of my bird sketch with the iPad and trace it out with a digital pen. After I added another layer under the one with the drawing of the bird, I found out that I can not automatically fill in the colors in each space of the bird so I had to color it in the old fashion way. I discovered that when I deleted the layer that I used to trace the photo of my sketch, the artwork looked better. I then went to my background layer and colored it light blue and then I went and covered the unfilled marks in the bird with my digital pen. I then drew the soil, seed, clouds, and sun and even drew some yellow lines on top of the bird's head and back. I started at 10:00 am and ended at 1:16 pm with the first part of my internship at the church.
