Opie Evaluation

Here is my finished opie picture after a lot of experimentation on photoshop, and it still looks a like a horse...

This was only the first time have have used photoshop so it took my a while (3 to 4 hours and many youtube videos) to figure out how to use the programme. eventually i became familiar with the basic tools like the 'lasso' tool, which i used to get the outlines of my; Hair, face and jumper.

I found it fairly difficult to get an accurate outline of my head and body because i couldn't keep a steady hand in order to keep the line near the the edge. 

Despite my oppie looking like a cartoon horse in a hoodie, i still wanted it to look fairly like myself so i used the 'eye dropper' tool shown below, to take a sample of my hair and skin colour, then used the 'paint bucket' tool to fill the colour in.

I then looked on the colour wheel to see my hair colour and choose a slightly lighter colour to show the different strands of hair and to try show the curliness of it.

I i was to try make an oppie again i would definitely make sure that i had more knowledge of how to use photoshop and also take more time on it to try get more accurate outlines and not have the look of a horse
