This project was called Giant Ego. It was a rather complex project that dealed with a lot of uncharted waters for me. I don't think I have ever used curves before this project, we worked on fringing, drilling the accuracy of our pen tool, and something I have not really utilized before this project the clipping masks. I found it hard to follow along with the video but I managed to conjure up a rather descent out come to me. I made it a little darker than recommended because it is a poorly lit room and should not be bright. I worked a lot with levels and saturations which was kind of difficult to get it to a number that seemed fitting without distorting the color to much.  I also had to use the healing tool and the clone stamp tool to up her skin and the lighting fixtures. Over all it was a long week of struggling.

Hello Bloggers, I have been working on a recent project 

called stone portrait. We took a combination of  igneous,metamorphic, and sedimentary rock to create a intricate stone design and texture. To make such a nice portrait you have to have the end goal in mind. I  new what I wanted it to look like before I even started. I named this bust Hue because thats all he consists of. If you can believe it i actually learned a new tool today, the lighting effect filter.
