Picture 329

SO! It's all good.
I've been all up and down lately.
Work....is working.

Everyone is leaving over at the Wally World.
Even my sister.
She got a better job doing what she wants to do.
I wish I could.
But I'm not letting that keep me down.
I've been working out my daily schedule.
Sleep now, wake up now.
If I get eight hours of sleep and then work nine hours, I'd have seven hours to do extra stuff.
And no matter when I work, I'll still have seven hours.
I need to use that time wisely.
I took the first steps today.
I got up on time and stayed up.
I made eggs for breakfast and recorded it at 1200FPS.
SLO MO YO!
I've just been living life and being all happy.
That's where this week's picture comes in.
A while back, I mentioned a list of projects I wanted to do.
Over time I added a new one.
Paint.
It's a simple idea.
A take a picture of me, select me in Photoshop, and paint on me.
SIMPLE!
So, I got to work.
First I needed the picture.

Nice simple picture.
It has a good background so I can select myself much better.
These next few steps got lost.
I forgot to save my progress.
It is in the BTS video though.
I just selected me and copy/pasted me onto a pure white background.
Then I used the magic wand to select all the white.
And then I invert the selection.
So, it goes from having the white background selected to just me selected.
Lastly, all that's left is to create a new layer and paint!
Since I have me selected, it'll only paint in the shape of me.
Thus, I have a layer of just me and a layer of random colors.
I just had to blend the two together.
That's all I did.
I've done this before for a school project.
That's why it's so easy!
However...I wanted more.
You know how I am.
I wanted to use the difference blend to make it look cooler!
I don't really know what it happened.
I moved so fast I didn't know what I was doing.
I ended up with what you see.
I didn't so any post Lightroom changes, nothing.
Just Photoshop and painting the colors.
.....That's all.
Man this post is short.
There's just nothing else to say. :-D
LET'S COMPARE!
Now, because this picture is so different, I can't really compare the before and after.
HOWEVER! This wasn't the only version of this picture.
Compare the original to the other version.

Hover your mouse (the computer one :-P) over the original picture to see the after editing one.
If you're on a touchscreen device, just tap on the picture. You may have to tap more than once.

See the difference?
I layered one differently.
I could decide with one, so I went with the more complex one. :-)
AWESOME!!
It's turned out just like I wanted...and more.
ON TO THE VIDEO!
It's 20 minutes and 20 seconds long and cover the whole process of making the photo.
It also has a few extra bits because I like to update you on how my week is going as well.

ALL DONE!
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
