The pictures I drew were of the Upper Bay area. For this picture I first opened the picture with the boat. I then increased the contrast of the picture then, decreased the brightness of the picture to make the pencil line stand out more. I then used the colorization option. I fiddled around with the hue and saturation until I found a color I thought suited the picture. Next I opened up a new file and outlined the goose using the free select tool, inserted an alpha channel, and then cropped out the goose. I saved this file as an .xcf file. I returned to the picture with the boat and opened a new file as a layer. Once I had the goose on the boat picture, I placed it the position I wanted it in. I then decided that the goose was too light and didn’t stand out at all against when next to the boat, so I used the paintbrush to to color in the goose. I then used the dodge tool to smear the color on the goose.
For this picture I decided to experiment with the Filters on on Gimp. After fiddling around with different filters for a while I decided to use two of them. First I used the Whirl and Pinch filter. I adjusted the different settings until the I got the filter to the size I wanted. I then used the Supernova filter. Finally I used the Colorize option to adjust the hue of the picture to blue.
