Owling

I wanted to practice cutting out parts of images clearly. I used the pen tool to crop out a basic outline then i used the eraser tool to clean up the edges. Afterward, there were some messed up hues leftover from the surrounding environment so I used a copy of the image that was desaturated. This layer was placed over the other with a mask layer so I could clear out the messed up hues.Finally, I added a fun background of water and grabbed a water splash brush to paint in the stirred up water.
