lesson one

The first lesson was quite a challenge. we were asked to follow the tutorial we were shown on the Monday.
firstly, a picture of us was required, front and side views. these pictures were then put in photoshop and were placed side by side. i then had to make sure that all unnecessary background was rubbed out using the rubber tool. once the pictures were placed side by side they needed to be aligned with each other.. i did this by taking the ruler from the top of the page and pulling it down to certain features of the face i.e eyes, nose. middle mouth, top of ears etc. Taking the eyes as a starting place and used the free transform tool to turn it slightly. i also had to use other features such as the ears and nose to do this. finally, line is one colour, i used red were drawn on the face to emphasize the features, so the outline of the eyes, nostrils and any other lines, creases or wrinkles. a second colour was then selected andlines were drawn onto the face connecting the two colours (almost). this was done so you can see bone lines, and parts of the face that are slightly higher.
