Collage Assignment done on Photoshop.
For this assignment i used the following pictures as the collage pictures.

I first put the lightbulb in as my base picture. All of the collage is built around it.

Then i put the sea picture behind it and erased whatever i didn't want.

There were gaps between both pictures so i filled it in by layering the pictures one under the other and erased the rest while using the eraser tool on a softer sharpness.

Then i worked on the background. I also layered and erased the background to create a full picture.

Next I added birds to the background.

More birds to create depth.

After that i put a butterfly as and effect behind the light bulb and used filters and opacity to adjust it till i was happy with the results.

I added more birds to the sky.

This is the final picture created with the collage method.

Assignment 2
Vector Drawing

For this assignment i used Adobe Illustrator.

This is the image i used to do the vertors. Found on google.

1st open the image in AI.

Then I used layers to slowly put down 1 layer of color at a time, starting from the background color.

I then added the pink shadow background.

Then repeated the same with orange and white.

Next, i used the pen tool to trace out the shape of the purple shadow under the hat.

Then did the same for all areas under the hat.

I also did the highlight.

The shirt was quite difficult because of all the details.

But slowly i got it done.

The hair was also difficult. But little details are easier to do close-up to the picture.

As for the face, i used the same method as the background. Layering color over color.

Final product.
