Black and White

 I picked the blue channel and then I used the channel mixer and I made the picture a little lighter by bumping up the red and then brining down the green.

I used gradient map, I created my own gradient map. I bumped up the lightness a lot more then the darkness. I then saved my gradient map and applied it to my picture.

I used the gradient map again and I created my own one. I bumped up the darkness and the lightness to create good balance. I then applied it to the photo.

Chess Piece

In CyberArts we have stared a realistic drawing unit. The first assignment in this unit was to draw a chess piece realistically with shading and with a background that shows movement and rhythm. This is my chess piece for this assignment. I tried to create movement in the background with the branchs, I drew them so it looked like they're all tavle down or up the page towards the chess piece. By doing this, it helps move yours eyes around the page but still centre on the chess piece. I tried to make all the branchs look smilar to create patteren.
