Caricature Lesson 4 Cut Out 5 Textures

1. Lesson Goals

SWBAT

1....use the POLYGONAL LASSO tool

(with a zero feather setting) to select,

copy and paste texture shapes.

2...use the PAINT BUCKET to fill

SELECTION areas to count as

CUT OUT TEXTURES

2. You Should Have 5 Textures/Patterns

1. Refer to the previous lesson's instructions if you don't have textures yet

Texture Ideas

3. Position the Texture/Pattern

1. Turn off all layers except figure reference and 1 texture/pattern

2. Position the texture so that it completely covers the area you want a texture shape to be in.

If your texture isn't big enough, tile it (and feather if needed)

4. Hide Texture/Pattern & Draw Selection Shape

1. Turn off the texture layer

2. Create a Polygonal Tool selection with a ZERO feather setting that defines the shape you want.

(See sample left)

5. Copy and Paste from the Texture/Pattern Layer

1. Turn texture layer back on

2. Make sure it is also highlighted in the layers panel

3. Copy and Paste the marching ant selection to make a new layer

4. Turn the Texture layer off and keep it hidden for future use in case you need it.

Undo your work and try it again if you're not happy with the results. Keep redoing it until you are happy with it.

6. Repeat Process With 5 or More Textures/Patterns

1. Follow the steps in sections 3-5 and cut out 4 more shapes from your textures.

2. Get a different figure reference if you're not happy with the pose of your figure.

7. Paint Bucket Areas Count as Textures

1. CREATE a NEW LAYER and name it if you want to. (See 1 Left)

2. Create a marching ant SELECTION area with the POLYGONAL LASSO tool. (See 2 Left)

3. Choose aCOLOR wither with the COLOR PICKER or the SWATCHES PANEL and use the PAINT BUCKET tool to fill the area (See 3 Left)

8. Not Happy? Try Different Approach

It's your art!

A new layer will appear in the Layer's Panel when you copy and paste a Marching Ant Selection.

NB Do Now

The Magic Wand Tool Tool selects more or less depending on its Tolerance setting.

How would a high Magic Wand tolerance setting work differently than a low one?

(Also on Texture Theme 5)

NB Do Now

The Magic Wand Tool selects more or less depending on its Tolerance setting.

A high Magic Wand tolerance setting would select more pixels because it will tolerate a wider range of colors and values than a low tolerance setting would.
