My Single Tree Forest

 I turned my tree into a forest :-).  

My single tree forest, assignment from Udemy Class: Clip Studio Paint Pro

I had so much fun with this exercise, and I learned so much!  I hope I can retain it, lol.

First I made a single tree (see earlier post).  Then I learned how to squoosh all those layers into one layer.  Then I duplicated that layer and moved the tree over, while resizing it or flipping it horizontally.  I repeated these steps until I had a forest.  

Then I used the selection tool to select the white space above the forest, inverted that selection so it chose the trees instead of the white space, and used the fill tool to make a solid outline of my forest.  Repeated it with two lighter colors and rearranged them. 

I thought that was fun so I used the lasso tool to select various parts of the photo to adjust the brightness, hue, luminosity and contrast. I made some brighter and some darker, and blurred it all.  I kept playing with it until I thought I understood what I was doing (not sure yet if that's true, lol), and stopped with this.  I like the feeling of light coming through the trees.  I love walking in the woods and I love it when the light streams through.
