Wings With No Color

So this is my final product that I ended up with. The theme was wings with no color. I like how it turned out, especially the colored parts. I definitely learned how to use new techniques in photoshop and I'm happy with what I achieved for being a beginner.

At the moment

This is what I'm going to use for the feathers, just need a person, maybe. And once I have an image I'll add a little more black and white light effects or something, like sparkles.

Reflection from Last Time aka Tuesday

So this is the first example of light techniques I was experimenting with, the second one has more of a shadowy color overlay. I'm working on the second idea to see if I like that one better, and I think I'm going to stick with the black background because, it makes everything show up better.

I think I like this one better, so probably going to use it instead of the squiggly lines one.

Theme II - Goal II

I didn't take any pictures over the weekend, however I'm going to play around with some light effects and find one that will enhance the idea of the feathers.

Reflection

I have the feathers placed how I want them and I'm almost done coloring them to make it look like the color is moving away off the screen leaving everything else black and white. I'll take pictures this weekend and hopefully end up with something I like so I can add the person etc.

Theme II - Weekly Goal

This week I hope to start my theme, however seeing as I can't find a sufficient model on the internet that could be a problem. So might have to take pictures this weekend which would put me behind. In the meantime I'm going to experiment with lighting techniques etc. by looking at some tutorials. I'll see what I can do.
