Tattoo

The strongest area of my work to me is the actual image. I think that the image was easy to manipulate and can be seen in my use of the multiply feature and how I bended it to curve on her thigh. The area of my work that can be improved upon is probably how realistic the image is because in all honesty it doesn't look like a real tattoo. I could have worked more with the dodge and burn. It was easy to do the image and place it on the subject. It was also easy to use the multiply filter and to bend it to fit the curve of her thigh. 

Though this art project is fairly simple and easy, some aspects of it were difficult. Getting the tattoo to look realistic through dodge and burn was pretty difficult. I used multiply to remove the white background of the image so it could solely be what I had drawn. I used the blend tool to fuzz the image a bit so the tattoo could look a little more worn. I used the move tool to adjust the image's placement. I also used it to warp the image so it could wrap around her thigh. I used dodge and burn to accent highlights and shadows on the image to make it realistic. I demonstrated the goal by drawing an original image and using photoshop tools to make it appear to be a tattoo.
