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.
