Steps (Picture 1):

To make my collage I collected some photos that I liked. Firstly, I used the eraser tool to cut out things that I wanted from the individual pictures themselves. I then used the smudge tool on the cartooned faces and the legs to create a trippy effect and some motion. For the other elements of the collage, I cut out the parts that I wanted and continued in the manner of trying to highlight each one while also balancing the photo. Once I positioned all the image parts where I wanted them to be, I then changed the viewing option of the layers. Some of them I put in overlay, lighten, hard light, or luminosity mode to bring out the element more and to make them cohesively work together. Overall, I am very delighted with how it turned out.

Steps (Picture 2):

With this, the only tools that I used were the brush and eraser tool. I imported some custom brushes from the website brusheezy and then placed around the different elements to make the drawing. I used the blending options to change up how certain elements interacted with the previous layers. Afterwards, I added my text to the drawing and then put an outer glow effect onto the text layer to make it blend better.

Steps (Picture 3):

To start, using the brush tool (on the soft edge setting) I made an ombre background. After that I imported an image of the ocean and then used blending options to make it blend with the previous layer so that it would show the colors. On top of those I began to draw Pikachu, but in green. When it was fully drawn I then used my custom lightning brush and placed it over all of the layers, this was to make it seem like Pikachu was letting off green lighting.
