Photoshop Lesson One (Pre-Introduction)

-


Yesterday was an introduction to Photoshop, as I’ve used this software before during my photography course, I already knew the basics. After we went into the best way of creating thumbnails, by using the templates provided we were given 20 minutes to complete all 16. As shown in the image (Octavia City) I was unable to complete all 16 however, within some of the thumbnails I quickly sketched out there are a few that I would want to develop more on. One idea being the rope bridges between buildings. After doing this exercise it has shown me that I do not need to spend hours on a few thumbnails, when I could just give myself 30 minutes to complete a whole sheet.

This helped in the amount of time I spend drawing and I feel that I have improved within some aspects of my work. Alongside this, the influence maps helped in showing more in-depth ideas and where I could expand on my work for example, the colour pallets and structure ideas. I chose Isaura, a city that centres around water and the growth of plants. I decided on this city as there were multiple ideas I could use to create the digital paintings. Alongside this, I looked into perspective exercises. This helped in not only getting perspectives correct but also
