Penguin Photoshop

Today in Info Tech we made a penguin in Photoshop. How we achieved this was that we first used the ellipse tool to make a black oval in the center of the screen. Then we created a smaller white oval on top of the black one. Now we began work on the features, the ellipse tool was used to make the eyes and the pupil (pupils were layered on top of the eyes). We then changed our color to the orange and yellow gradient (using the fill bar at the top of the screen). I used the new  gradient as the color of my beak and feet(which were made again with the ellipse tool). I then created the arms and placed them so it looked like the penguin was happy. To enhance the idea that the penguin was happy, I made him jump in the air with music in the background. I was able to place the musical notes and grass on the screen by holding the ellipse tool and selecting custom shapes option. I'm really proud of what I've created as I think that it has made me improve my photoshop skills as I'm now much more comfortable using the controls, and if I was told to remake this sans instructions, I would be able to.
