Basic Photoshop editing.

Here is the orginal drawing, prior to photoshop manipulation (do excuse the deviantart watermark, I like to keep it on there to try and combat plaugerism). Today our task was to explore these basic techniques and analyse their outcomes.

This image, shows what changign hue, saturation and brightness can do. I personally quite like it, its gone kind of a vintage sepia colour and the heavier blue guiding lines help emphasize dramtic movement in his hair and soft feminine features.

 Here I've used the 'cutout' filter. I quite like the way it's made him almost 64bit, but then again he looses a lot of his soft features and the shading is lost because it was too subtle to be changed in the filter.

This is the inverted colours of the original image. I quite like it as its just an interesting adjustment where nothing is lost from the orginal image. However if I wanted to have this effect I would've drawn on black paper in the first place.

Here I have adjusted the 'curves' of the image. I don't like this, it weighs the image down in the wrong places (around the face) and looks too 'dirty' compared to the quite delicate original image.

So whilst most of these didn't really work for this particular image, I certainly would consider using photoshop to enhance future pieces. After completeing the four set experimentations I decided to have a play with more photoshop manipulations. 

Layer transparency. This is just my own experiment using multiple layers. I really like this, despite its simplicity, its a very nice effect making the subject very ghostly and reminds me of Alexsy Titernko's photography.
