just me: final showdown

As the semester grinds to its end I was required to pick 3 of my sketches and work on them with photoshop to enhance picture quality and output.

1. PLANET PALMS: This is artwork depicts unity in different roots, showing various racial colours coming together.

I started by using the magic wand tool to select the different palms to modify them individually. by selecting a part and choosing the inverse selection.

The inverse selection of the part picked by my magic wand.

I used the paint bucket tool 1and bubble splash pattern to improve the background design.

I improved the hand paintings by using levels and gradient, to adjust the contrast and colour. Producing a darker and sharper image.

This the my final image after working on "PLANET PALMS".

2. MIXED FEATHERS

This is an artwork that explores various potentials and sees the soar above the clouds with varied levels of success and a pacesetter setting the trend.

I started by inserting the image in photoshop and editing the image size while maintaining the original image quality.

Then i used the Image -> adjustment -> levels Function, which works on the levels and gradient of contrast and colour to enhance the image quality.

I followed up by using the paint bowl to modify the background colour and other separate parts.

The magic wand was used to select individual parts for colour modification.

All the tools above combined together perfectly produced "MIXED FEATHERS".

This is my selected image for Print.

3.CULTURE POWER: This depicts the world and its continents coloured with their political or economic strenghts, while we have stars representing people moving on to the next level of success in their career.

I started by using the levels tool to adjust the gradient and level of colour and contrast as my artwork was already painted to detail previously so there was not much work on colour to be done.
