Before and after-Alex Pettyfer

Before and After-Ashley Benson

Evaluation

Both my Avatars used a similar process to be finished. The first thing I did was to put them into the backgrounds and change their hair and eye/ lips colour. I did this by using the mask, liquify and Hue and Saturation tools.
I then found snake skin on the internet and using the masking tool again I changed their skin. I also added an airoplane to the background using the masking tool and, to make it blend in, changed the opacity and flow of the brush.
After this I added in the wings. This took a few tries because it was difficult to find the right ones. I used the masking and Hue and Saturation tools for this as well so I could get the right colour that matched the emotion.

I really liked this term, it was great to learn about Photoshop and I learnt a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed this unit of work but there are a few improvements that I could have made to my avatars. Firstly, I could have chosen the colour scheme better and this would have made it easier to make the colour wheel. I would have also taken more time to get the hair and face shape on my second, male, avatar right. I would have also taken longer liquefying the eyes on him so they don’t look so droopy.

Inspiration



The two images that inspired me for the skin and wings are these: The one of the snakeskin inspired me because the person looks very gentle and a lot like my race of people. I liked the butterfly wings because they matched the personality of my avatars, butterflies being gentle and calm.
