Week 1- Abstract

Here it is at last my first weeks assignment for the Photoshop on-line course I'm doing at myjanee.com.

I was a little lost as to what to do with all my new techniques but the result is below..............meet Mr. Egg-Head.
This little guy is the outcome of shapes filled with colour, all set on their own layers, a technique (layers) which has always seemed to be mysterious and out of reach to me.

Janee has taught me in this first week the one thing I could not get to grips with on my own (even with at least 10 years experience of using graphics programs to work on photos.

I was glad the question was asked on the board about deleting one of the layers, when the picture was almost done I decided I was not happy with the mouth. What a gift to be able to drag the layer to the trash can.

Painting on the eyebrows was a nightmare, drawing with a mouse is soooooo awkward. Lucky for me
I've ordered a Wacom Graphire4, I'll be watching out for the postman all week :-).
Week 1 of Launchpad A has been lots of fun and I've learned quite a lot, can't wait to see what's in store for class next week.
