Christobelle, looking Annoyed and Sad (at the same time!!)

So from my last post, I got up to the bit where I was about to change her expression. This is what I did too change her expression:

First of all, I made two layers, one named 'left eye' and the other named 'right eye'. I masked both layers and took away everything but the left eye for the left eye layer and everything but the right eye for the right eye layer. After this, I went to the left eye layer and free transformed it. I tilted the whole picture (but really only the eye moved) downwards on the left side so that it made the eye look sad. I did the same thing for the right eye except that instead of tilting it to the left side, I tilted it to the right side. After this, I took away anything that I didnt want. I took away anything that looked weird and looked like it didnt belong her. I had to make sure the nose and the eyes still went together and that the blue colours didnt change from the lightness of the shade.

After I made the eyes different, I changed the mouth, I did the same process of making a new layer and calling it 'mouth', masking it, taking everything away with the brush except the part I wanted to change (the mouth). After this, I tried to tilt the mouth to the left, but it didnt look very good, so instead, I was fiddeling around and I found out that if you select the part you want to morph, instead of morphing the whole mouth, you only morph that section you selected. So my selecting the elft side of the mouth, I went to Free Transform, then Trasnformed and i used the 'warp' tool to warp it the way I wanted it to look. I then did the same thing for the right side of the mouth. This way both sides of the mouth tilted the way I wanted them to tilt.

PS: when I made a new layer, I did it from the blue skinned layer so that I wouldnt have to colour the skin again!
