Entry 12- The Start Start
Today I finally started working on my photoshop assignment. I wanted to start off by building my mountain of corpses, so I tried searching on Britannica, the copyrighted images site, but the photos that I wanted did not come up even if I tried searching it up in different key terms. In the end, I had to get the images from Google, which is possibly illegal and unreliable. The photos that I got from Google are:
I started working on the golden suited girl (Zlata) first since I wanted her to be on the bottom of all the layers of the corpses. I first used the brush selection tool and selected all the backgrounds that I did not need and then deleted it. I chose to use the selection tool instead of the mask tool because the mask tool did not give the clean refined edges and the natural look that I was searching for. The mask tool would have also been a pain later on in the progress as the mask tool does not copy the with the original layer when copy and pasting the layer. Moving back to the process, I then used the clone tool to get rid of her facial features such as eyes, lips, imperfections and etc. After that, I proceeded to duplicate the layer to select only her clothes. I then used the selection tool to select her clothes, inverted it and then added a masking layer, to mask out everything but the clothes. I then colourised it by opening the colourising tab (command + U) and then colourised it by selecting the colourising box and selecting the colour I wanted, which was the closest one to her skin tone. I chose to make her clothes tone similar to her skin tone as I wanted the corpses to have a nude feel so that the dead bodies harmonised together in both wise and aesthetic wise.

That's all I did for this lesson, but I'm planning to work on it this weekend. I'm also thinking about taking photos of bird feathers if I can find one, rather than getting it from google. Mr Powell told us about getting more creative marks for not getting photos off from the internet but using photos that we took. I'm not sure if I can get any photos from real life that I'd need for my art piece.
