Playing Around

Tonight I played around a bit with photoshop. I got an image of Emma Watson (off google) with a white background a played around with it in photoshop. I started off following a tutorial. I deleted the white background and put in some dark clouds instead (image found on google). I then used the dodge tool set on highlights and with an exposure of 15%. I used the dodge tool on her eyes to brighten them up. Once I'd done this, I made a new adjustment layer and I made Emma Watson look darker. The tutorial got pretty hard after this, so I decided to stop and just see what I had, which I think looks pretty cool. I'm going to play around with a few other tutorials in the next few days and do some easier ones.
