For the first nine-week project, I tried to make a wolf shirt. First, I found three different pictures of wolfs that are howling. Then, I found a picture of the moon. I made the background layer black with a little outer glow on it. I had to unlock it by double clicking the layer. On top of that layer, I made a layer of which the stars were made with a brush preset, a little outer and inner glow, and yellow brush color. After that, is that layer with the ground on it. The ground was simply a drawing with the brush, then a pattern overlay to make it look like snow. The next layer holds the howling wolf on the far right, but in order to get it there, you had to open it in another project, and drag that background into your project, then modify it. I changed the opacity of the layer, added some out glow, and re-sized the image a little bit. I did that with all the other wolf pictures. On top of the first wolf layer are the clouds. The clouds are simply a brush that had a little bit of softer erasing done to it. Lastly, I put the moon image on top of everything using the sme process for the wolf pictures, then applied some outer glow. All in all, you get a wolf shirt.
For this project, you have a basic case of a dragon burning Justin Beiber to the ground in an endless flame. :D. First, I looked up two images, one of Justin, the other of Trodgor. Then I combined the two images and put them in different layers so I could give Trogdor a stroke and make Justin disappear. I created nine different flame images, smudged the first eight and left the ninth to give it a fill, then opened my animation window and up the different layers in each frame. Then, after deep pondering, I erased Justin on different frames, and added a smoke using a brush preset and gray coloring. After that, I made the exact frames go backwards, making it look like everything went away.
