Bedroom Waves

On all objects I cropped I used the magnetic selecting tool.  I coped and pasted the waves onto the wooden bedroom floor to make it look like the room was filled with this gushing seawater. I used the warp tool to lower the left side of the wave so you could see more of the window in the bedroom I added a reveal all layer mask gradient to fade the waves into the wood floor. I added the bed and rotated it slightly as if it were being rocked by the wave. I used the gradient tool again to fade the bottom of the bed into some white foam of the wave. I used the ink dropper to select the vibrant blue green of the water and then used the brush tool to paint the harsh black lines around the pillows blue. I use the blur tool to blend the entire bed into the waves more. I added lightning in a cloudy, dark sky outside the bedroom window. I cropped it, scaled it to the right size, and skewed it to fit the window frame. I put a revealable gradient from this image to the top of the window, though it was a very small one. I raised the wave near the window and the seagull by using the warp tool. I wanted to make it look like the seagull was coming out of the water and sort of through the window so I gave him a hide all gradient and stopped shading him in right about to where his neck meets the water. I used the ink dropper and a 92% opacity brush tool with a low hardness level to fill in some spots on his neck with blues from the water and whites from his neck to blend him in more. I cropped and scaled down the alarm clock. It was already angled perfectly to fit in the seagulls mouth. I also liked how the red of the alarm clock kind of popped in contrast to the cool colors of the rest of the photo; except for the way the waves blend into the bright golden wood floor, making it look almost like lava. I used a small reveal all gradient from the throat of the seagull to the edge of the clock to make it look more like it is under the shadow of the bird's beak and in its mouth. I used the ink dropper tool and a 40% opaque brush with similar level hardness to blend the back of the clock into the birds mouth.
I used the magnetic lasso to crop the girls arm and partial hair and then pasted it into my composition. I used the eraser to get rid of some of her head and whiteness under her hair from the previous photo to make it look more realistic and blend it in. Then I used the blur tool over her entire arm to soften the harshness and then just around the outline of her dark hair; I still wanted the detail of the hair in it.

I suppose you could say this image represents how I felt during the alarming end of summer.


The images of the seagull, the alarm clock,  the thunder and the blue bedroom are all from pixels.com The waves were from pixabay.com and the bed was from a website called funkyjunkinteriors.net The photo of the woman's head and arm I got on bestlifeonline.com under an article called "17 Daily Habits that are Ruining Your Brain." by Grant Stoddard
