 At the start of the week, we were told to complete a few tutorials to help gain experience using Photopea. The first video I looked at was wrapping a logo onto a coffee mug. I chose Dr. Pepper logo and searched on google images to look for a simple coffee cup. The end result was much better than I thought it would turn out. I love the way the wrap adds the shadows to the logo making it look like an actual cup. I had to warp the logo to make it look like it was actually going off to the sides by bending the corners up and stretch the image a slight bit. Right after the cup was a cartoon type filter, this one was the most challenging out of them all. I chose to filter the live action 'Witcher' TV series. Before: There was a lot to do and to be honest, I've forgotten most of the step already. It took a lot of filtering and recoloring. The layers exceeded over 10 really quickly within the span of only 3 minutes. After: The next video I looked at was creating a 'fire' e...

I will be listing 5 free to use font websites that I could potentially use in the future. Fell free to look at them yourself. 1001freefonts.com Lots of fonts to use DaFonts.com Nice to look at. FontSpace.com Many variety of fonts. Fontesk.com Not a lot but nice looks. FontSquirrel.com Not many fonts but many nice different types.

  We were told to photoshop a tutor's face onto characters or images with the lasso tool. We cut his face off and stuck it onto many images. These were the results: This one was for jokes but it was the most annoying to due due to me trying to make Keith's head similar colour to the body. This one was the second easiest to do due to just me sticking his face onto thor's. But I did have to add the glasses frame leg. This one took a fair bit of time to complete with the extra layers needed to be cut. I hand picked Shaggy due to Keith being fairly similar to shaggy. I found it quite funny. This one I really like due to the cut out hair and how it over lapped the face. This one took the most time due to the coloration and the details needed. This one was the easiest and the sloppiest. Barely anything was done to solve the harsh edges. I did this one due to Keith's fondness of Dragon Ball. This one was asked by a fellow classmate. But it looks the best in my opinion due to h...

 For the 2 extra shape drawings I had to do I chose 2 different perspective seal pictures I used Photopea which was a horrible knock-off version of photoshop. I used a very little amount of shapes on the pictures. This seal was the easiest out of the 2 and was quick. This seal was lying down and took the longest between the two.

 For the line drawings i had to first find the images i desired. The instructions were that you can but as long as it is not an exact copy for an image with lines. I used Photopea to start off, i hated this software. Its discusting, it didn't feel right in my hands. with no movement in the mouse. It felt off. I chose this image: I first created a new layer. Then chose the brush tool to then shrink the pixel size of the brush. This shortened the width of the strokes. The image that was created was a monstrosity. The lines were wonky due to the movement issues with the image. The brush strokes were rubish to work with. It was so bad i gave up. I then moved on, and searched up 'sexy mnm'. I chose this image due to hits simplicity and sauciness. The results are shocking. I traced the outline leaving the limbs out of the image making sure that its 'different' from the original. It was so bad. I made a layer on top of the image to then trace the outline of every part. I a...
