i pulled this image of a beach resort from the internet (of course) and looked to see if it had a name , which it did. I used a brush to erase lines out of the text and then gave it a drop shadow. the fish was also from the internet, and i gave it the lighten blending mode to achieve that effect

this is my finished product. the girl i used is kang seulgi from a girl group called Red Velvet. i knew i wanted to use her because in their new music video, One of These Nights, there are many surreal moments. i initially wanted to recreate one of them, but i couldn't find any good source images. i just went to google and grabbed cool looking images.

these are my source images

Unless i find something else to add to it on thursday or friday this is the final product. it doesnt look that great mostly because i couldnt find good watercolor brushes to use. other than that i loosely followed to tutorial and got this which is kinda nice

this is my thing the textbook thingy was a little confusing but i got done with it. the path type was the hardest part for me, i couldnt get it to do what i wanted it to.
