Exercise 2(Part 1):
Once we were finished with Exercise 1, we moved on to Exercise 2. Exercise 2 is similar but we used the 'Select and mask' tool to help create better outlines that we can colour in

Exercise 2(Part 2):
For Part 2, we were tasked to choose any of the pictures given in Google Drive and search for references that we liked and wanted to colour the black-and-white photo with. These were my references.

Using the same demo video, I used the same methods that were shown in the video to recolour the black-and-white photo with the hair and skin colour references we searched.

MyTiger Values SDG (Defining my concept)

After letting Mr Fauzi see my research and when he gave me the thumbs up to move on to the next stage of my concept, I had to visualise and sketch out the posters to what I think the "MyTiger Values" are.

REFLECTION

This week was a bit hard as I was figuring out the selection tool and how it works. I found it very infuriating as well as intriguing because it was able to keep the finer details like hair but it was really finicky to use as the software wasn't able to figure out which parts I wanted and didn't want to select. Even with the ups and downs, it was really fun to be able to restore my own interpretation of what kind of colours would be there and how there are different shades when it comes to recolouring.
