COMIC COLORING
1. My first step into this project was creating a black page by clicking on new file, then selecting the size i want. Afther that I chose my page to be vertical because I knew how I wanted my scenery and the placement of my characters. When I finished selecting my blank page to start, I click, create. Before I start doing anything, I go through google and search up (character) comic coloring page.Once I find the image of my character I make sure the pixel of the image is up to 1,000 because once I drag it to photoshop I want it to be able to be clear and smooth. So I drag the image to photoshop and started to delete the background and white fillers, using the magic wand, set it multiple select, delete and deselect. After that step I duplicate the image and rename it to flat color. Thats where I will color in the character. I Then select the parts i want color, using the magic wand tool. After selecting my color I use the paint bucket. At some point I run into a problem where there was parts of the pixels that didn't get colored in so I clicked select>modify>border by on pixel. After coloring in the character I duplicate it and rename the new layer Shading. Thats were i will add more dimension and life into my character. By this I will need a smooth brush.But before I start shading I added a new blank layer
for my swatches. The swatches layer is where Ill take color for easy access, in other words my pallet. When I finished my shading I looked for a background I want both of my character to be in and by searching for a background and dropping it into a new layer in photoshop. I made sure the background is behind all my layers.That was my process of my project.
2. Based on the learning target My project succeeds a mastery level of it meets.This is because I followed each step and showed how by coloring
