OUIL403 - Studio Brief 2 - Your Initial Brief (Photoshop)

During this workshop I used the skills that I have learnt throughout the past 3 weeks to create 5 finished manipulated images from the scans of my work. Below are the original scans:

I used the transform and crop tool to make the scanned image central and then cleaned up any marks I did not want with the eraser tool. To make the lines darker I messed around with the levels, I tried to make the lines as dark as possible and the background as white as possible.

 These are my final manipulated images. In the top one I used a smoke texture to imitate the cats fur, I think that using textures that aren't from the actual thing (smoke for cats fur instead of actual fur) is most effective because it creates quite an interesting image which isn't obvious straight away, I enjoyed using a mixture of textures and the paint tool in the same image.
