Class and Outside Work


Creature using multiple layers and scanned in sketches, with a photograph from downtown Memphis. Drop Shadow drawn out with a path that was filled in and manipulated to create a more dynamic shadow.


Both of these images utilized the pen tool to cut out images and the free transform option in order to flip and resize. The eraser tool was used in both on low opacity to avoid hard edges. I used the shape tool in order for circular and rectangle shapes. I used the clone tool to repeat the images of the buildings and also copied the duck path on top of a image of a bomb which then filled the path. I altered the hue/saturation of the image below for color usage in the background. In the one above I used a downloaded pattern tool to fill in the space.
