Just some old mario characters with a shadow. Got to practice the circle selection for the mushroom quite a bit.

Kay, here we go:

Lecture 31 - Selection work - 01 - Drop shadow to the gun. Selected the entire gun, increased slightly, feathered, created new layer, filled with black, and set the layer opacity to 50% or something like that.

Lecture 31 - Selection work - 02 - Gun silhouette

Lecture 31 - Selection work - 03 - Added one of the earlier fire icons to a larger canvas, duplicated and flipped vertically to a new layer. Made the “reflection” semi-transparent using the opacity setting of the layer. Added a gradient to the background, that should look like land on top, and water at the bottom. Actually think it turned out pretty nice. :grinning:

PotionDropShadow Look at that drop shadow on the table! Maybe it’s not a drop shadow so much, but I’m pretty happy with it!

These are fun. I wish I had more gusto in the evenings to plough through more lessons

Everybody has such awesome examples for this one! Here are mine:

Framed Shield Basically copied the method used in one of the previous videos for this
Helmet Silhouette Touched up my silhouette style using this helmet - very happy with this one
Reflection Peaceful reflection of a tree on a lake. Getting the layers correct was the only hard part - had to make the land into a mask to get it right.

Made another potion, with a shadow and a reflection. Took awhile, so I decided to skip on making a background setting for it.
