Knight

In this activity we will be using various parts to create a picture of a knight.

Sample Output

Steps

  1. Open Photoshop.
  2. The first thing we will do is remove the background. With the Magic Wand, set the Contiguous to unchecked. Click the white background.
  3. With the Magic Wand again, set Contiguous to checked, and set it to subtraction (the square overlapping part of a square). Click the space in the middle of the eyeball.
  4. Press Ctrl+Shift+I to invert the selection, selecing only the parts to be used.
  5. Press Ctrl+J to duplicate the selection on a new layer.
  6. Place the layers on your new canvas by dragging it into a new canvas, similar to the Vegeman.
  7. Merge (Ctrl+E) the eye and eyeball together by selecting both layers and selecting Merge.
  8. Duplicate (Ctrl+J) the combined layer of the eye and eyeball, along with the K and the background rectangle.
  9. We're going to recolor one of the background rectangles to blue. Select one of the background rectangles. Make sure your foreground color is set to #66CCFF, and use the Paint Bucket Tool and click on the rectangle.
  10. Transform (Ctrl+T) each layer into its proper position, similar to the Vegeman.
  11. Now try the exercise.
