My Photoshop Project

To make my poster I took a photo while riding on a ferry on the way back from the beach. Then I masked out the water and replaced it with a photo of lava flowing down the side of a mountain and put it where the water used to be. Once I had replaced the water I took a photo of a person paddle boarding on calm water and masked that out and put it on top of the lava. I made sure to include the shadow to make the person more realistic. After all that was done I added smoke on top so that it looked like the person was paddle boarding on the side of subterranean volcano. I think that the shadows reallt make it look real because the sun is setting so if they weren’t there it would kind of kill the vibe.

Value Chart Post

 

The main trouble that I ran into was that I couldn’t get there to be just one shade of pencil. What I mean by this is that I was having trouble getting the coloring smooth so that each box had one shade rather than multiple. Another trouble that I ran into was that I had trouble keeping all the little lines in the box because I was trying to cover the space with long strokes rather than little scribbles. Overall I think that I did a good job but with some more practice I could do better.
