Today's learning log :
1. As what I've planned before, I'm going to make the background for my wolf. But it didn't turned out well... So I'll continue working on it next class..
2. Actually I learned how to make snowfall in images - photo manipulation. It's actually not that hard at all.
3. I'm interested on making a wintery woods instead of lush green kind of woods. It matches with the original cover itself.
I basically failed to manipulate a picture to create a fantasy background.

Good Morrow Everyone (: !
Today's Learning Log
1. As promise, I experimented with the custom brush that I made last class and painted a wolf. What do you think? It took the whole class to paint this wolf and I refined them at home.
2. If you follow this:
PSDtuts - Paint a realistic hair as what I mentioned at the last entry of my learning log, I'm pretty sure you can create one! (:
3. I successfully used the custom brush that I made and now I'm interested in making the background of the wolf by using the brushes. Also creating more details to the picture.
4. I've been thinking that I'm going to make a scenery of a woods in the winter where snow covers the trees and all that. What do you guys think? Suggestions and ideas are welcome ! :DD
5. Create your own custom image by using a custom brush. If I can do it, of course you can.
6. I actually got the wolf idea from a novel that I read and I took an interest on creating a book cover for it but I didn't have the brush to paint a realistic hair and didn't have the confidence to make it happen. But now as you can see, I did it - thanks to this self-independent project, I can explore and expand my skills further.
