Photoshop Challenge 1

Photoshop Challenge 1

        When I first started this project I was given a picture of a man and some landscapes. I had no idea what to do with them for a long time. However I tried multiple different things. I tried making him look like a Smurf, making the background inside him, instead of him in the background, and lastly, I tried making him look like Thanos snapping his fingers. I then tried making him look like a cartoon character, which is what I ended up going with. 
        I worked with many different ways of creating the picture. I ended up throwing a lot of adjustments on it, such as hue saturation layers and oil painting adjustments. I added masks and blending mode to help remove the original background of the man and make the colors look right. 
        The end result did not look exactly like I hoped. I was hoping for a much more cartoony look, but it did not as cartoony as I hoped, instead it looks more like a painting. However I had fun editing it either way.
