In this lesson we were taught how to incorporate textures and shapes taken from other images into images of our own. I attempted to re-create the project image with very little instruction, and as a result, was not completely satisfied with my end result. However, i was still able to learn plenty of DOs and DON'Ts of object and texture incorporation. In this project, i realized the importance of merging layers when it is no longer necessary to keep them separate. This can save you a lot of grief, But be careful not to merge layers too soon.

you did a great job teaching yourself how to create this one - perhaps you learned even more from the challenge(?)
ReplyDeleteand i agree -- not to early on the merging. i tend to be overly cautious and usually make a group folder instead of merging. but i applaud your bravado!
good job. i gave you a 97 on this because your original piece has texture but no objects.
