Photoshop

Today, I have been working with Photoshop. Although I believe it is an amazing tool, I am still getting my head round it. Particularly with the layering … the tutor compared it to screen printing and somehow it makes more sense now.

We started with a 4x3 grid to practise brush choices. It was far too tempting to go all over the page …

 

Then, we repeated the process in colour

 And finally, we built up some layers:

1 Import an image

2 Create a new layer: Outline (and using the brush draw the outline of your image).

3 Create another layer: Fill (choose a colour and select the bucket tool).

4 Drag the Outline layer on top of the Fill.

5 Create a new layer: Colour (to add colour using the brush tool)

6 Once complete, flatten the layers (Layers - Flatten image).

          7 Save it as a JPEG
