Photoshop Compositions

This is a piece of graffiti by the British artist Banksy.  I divided the image into threes and added diagonal lines to help focus the viewer on the center of the piece.  I feel that by adding the guide lines it is simple to see how this work is well balanced and it effectively draws attention to the center of the image.


I drew this picture a few months ago and felt that it would be the perfect template for a composition concept for this assignment.   Once I imported the image into Photoshop I rotated it a bit to center it, then I colored the entire picture using the paint brush tool.  To make the colors flow in an effective way I used the blend tool to combine colors and made the colors opaque enough to see the pencil shading found in the original drawing.  Once I finished coloring the picture I added guidelines with lines going diagonally to show how the image is balanced and centered.  I am really happy with the way this picture came out, it is the best work I have done with Photoshop so far.
