hybrid animal.

For this project we had to combine parts of animals. In this you see a cow's head, dear's antlers, giraffe neck, lion body, elephant ears used as wings, a monkey's arm, and the hind of a red fox. If you look closely there is a flower made of a daisy, hibiscus, sunflower and a tulip. Next time I need to make the animal parts flow better, but I grouped them before I did, and couldn't go back. The flower was made first because I didn't know what I was going to do.

Where's lion?


For this project we had to take one picture and erase parts of it. The first picture is the original, with three lions, but in the second one there is only one lion! I used the lasso tool and deleted it, photo shop filled in the rest. I had a hard time getting rid of the lion facing away from the camera because photoshop wanted to fill in another head from the main lion. What I had to do was delete small parts of the lion until the whole thing was deleted. The only thing that I don't like about it is that if you look really closely at where the lion facing away from the camera stops, it goes from fuzzy green to sharp ground.

Music Rocks-My way

This one is similar to the "Music Rocks". I had the same objects that, again, i rearranged. This time i didn't use a background and I didn't erase any of the lines. This time I wanted to mostly focus on "music". This time I made all of the objects blend in with different stripes. The one thing I don't like about is the objects pixilated as I made them bigger so a few look rough on the edges. My favorite part is on the top because the colors, red and orange, really stand out.

Music Rocks

For this project we had to basically rearrange everything on here. The other background was a rainbow tie-dye, but I choose to do this graffiti background instead because it looked cool and sketchy plus it blended in the colors. I also liked how we had to erase parts of the stripes because it adds to the graffiti background. What I don't like about this one is that it really doesn't focus on the music aspect of this project.

History Brush


We had to use the "History Brush" and reveal color from a desaturated picture. My picture is of a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. I only revealed the outlines of the dog's body to make it glow. With just the outline i didn't think it was enough, so i also revealed the tail, nose, and ears. I really like the end product.
