In class, I have learned new techniques in Adobe Photoshop which I have been using to make better original art in Photoshop. I know how to use keyboard shortcuts, more tools, and new design aspects to make my creations look better and more professional. I wanted to explore Photoshop more in depth and learn how to get better at using it, so I looked up tutorials on how to do certain things in Photoshop that seemed useful. I looked up help on the basics of using what is called "history", in Photoshop. History shows all of the states your creation has been in. You can open up the history panel and see what you have done. For example, if you want to go back to before you started coloring something but want to keep everything open, you would find where you started coloring, and click on the state before that. A quick way to go back one state, you can press Ctrl + Z, which is the shortcut for undo.

We recently started to draw characters and basic comics for those characters. I realized that my drawing skill is mediocre compared to the expectations and standards in class. I decided to do some research on how to draw better. Something I found out was that simply practicing and drawing over and over can further your skill. I learned that you should start with simple things and go off of reference. Don't try to draw something from memory or using your imagination first. Instead, look at something or look at a picture for reference when drawing. Something else I learned was to take your time with your drawings. Sometimes I rush through my drawings, and I discovered that you can practice drawing details to slowly get better at drawing in general. Overall, practice makes perfect when it comes to drawing, and anyone can do it.
