Photoshop Scene

I really liked using Photoshop.  I found it a lot easier to use than Illustrator.  To crop, I used the magnetic lasso, magic wand, and eraser.  I decided to try to add a shadow of myself to the ground along with the tree to make it look realistic.

For my project, I chose to go the Google symbol.  To create this, I used the reference picture below to use the pen tool to trace the outline of the shapes, and then eye dropped the colors to get the exact colors.  When I looked at the drawing on Firefox, I made adjustments to my numbers to get a better curve and what I believed was a smoother curve. 

Vector Drawing

I mainly used the gradient mesh for this project which took forever.  I think the most challenging part of this project was how close the lines had to be to get an accurate drawing, and then streaks showed up on the wings; however, I kind of liked the look it gave the back wings.  Also, I tried to delete lines to remove the streaks, but then it deleted parts of the wings.  The branch I added shadows as well as an effect to give it the bark texture.
