Midterm #8

The above images depict my photo editing exercise for Midterm #8.  The image on the left is the original and the image on the right is retouched and resized.  I used a combination of the eye dropper tool, paint brush tool, and the smudge/blur tools.  For the paint brush, I was careful to use a stippled brush stroke and a small brush size in order to not make my changes too obvious or unnatural.  

My first order of business was to remove skin blemishes from my forehead.  I also removed a small mole from my cheek.  I then made my beard look less scruffy by using colors from the wall to cover/smudge/blur the scraggly parts.  The toughest part was trying to naturally darken the light hairs under my lower lip.  That required a lot of different eyedropper textures and various paintbrush tips and sizes.  I finally blurred/smudged the colors to a point where I think they look pretty good at normal zoom.  

It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc
