SCENE EXPLANATION:

Chocolate Frog

For Valentines Day we turned frogs into chocolate. I thought this project was pretty fun. It was a new task and taught us many new things about what Photoshop has to offer. I learned that the smudge tool can come in handy when you need to create the effect of obejects melting.

Shadows & Reflection

In these exercises we learned how to use shadows and reflections to help us create more realistic artwork. A new tool we learned was "Layer Masks." The things we learned here can help in the future when i need to create a reflection or shadow of an object.
