For our exercise, we have to create our own version of the practical. We have to find an animal and change it with a different texture,

The first attempt of this exercise was in class, cause I having trouble connecting to the school wifi, I couldn't search any picture from the internet, so I use a picture of my cat.

Fig 4.8: Picture of my cat.

Then I use the texture scale (Fig 4.6) that were given to us, and I use it to change the texture of my cat,

I still want to play around more with the exercise, so when I finally got a connection, I chose a picture of a kiwi bird,

Fig 4.11: Kiwi Bird

Fig 4.12: Leopard Texture.

First thing I did is opened the sky image,

Fig 5.5: Putting the rock

Then, I proceed to add the rock, I did this by using the quick selecting tools then, mask it and copy the layer to my sky image.

Fig 5.6: Resizing & Placing

Next thing I did is using the matching color that is in the image so that the rock has a related color with the background,

then I wanted to add more color and depth in the rock, I decided to copy my rock layer and added a blending mode, using the brush tool I added more shadow and highlight.
