Chocolate Frog


For Valentines Day we turned frogs into chocolate. I thought this project was very cool and I learned how to blend colors together into making a smooth surface on the frog. I learned how to use the smudge tool to make the dripping effect on the frog.

Shadows And Reflections


In these exercises we learned how to create shadows and reflections to help us make more realistic artwork. A new tool we learned was layer masks. The things we learned here can help me in the future be making realistic shadows that can actualy blend in with the background. Also, it can help me into making perfect reflections.
