What I did:
Today, In photoshop, I created two side characters from "The Cellist of Sarajevo." The character's I created are Emina, from Dragan's story arc and Ismet from Kenan's Story arc. Now, these two characters are more heavily described then Dragan and Kenan were in the book so that's why there is more detail on Ismet. I also learned how to use the blur option and the. These characters are actually in the book quite a lot, especially Emina, so that's why I needed to create them.
1. First, I decided to create the character, Emina from Dragan's arc. We originally meet her during the second reading with Dragan. She's described as wearing a blue coat so I made sure the arms and body are blue. I also moved the arms behind the coat to make it seem like she's wearing something big. Also, they didn't go into detail about her eyes so I just gave her some random eyes and I think the sprite actually looks really good. She also has brown hair in the book that is tied back. This is closest to what I could find to having tied back hair.
What I learned:
Today, I learned how to use the field blur tool and how to use the diffuse option under the stylize option. Since I just make the characters nowadays, I also want to learn how to do new things so that's what I did. I learned the complex part about the blur tool and how to use it. The field blur looks really complicated but the diffuse tool but pretty straight forward.
1. First, I learned how to field blur and how to use it. After you go to field blur it gives you a wheel in the middle of your image to adjust how much you want. It also gives you three lines which you can rotate/adjust as well. Moving the lines determines how much and where the blur is. Like if you move a line it can blur one side but it might keep the other side completely normal.
Time: 40 minutes

2. Next, I created Ismet. Ismet is a soldier in the army described as wearing a green uniform. He's Kenan's longtime friend and also wears an insignia that is muddy. The insignia was originally red but since it's muddy, I painted it to have a brown color. He also has hair the colour of "coal" and since coal is black, I gave him black hair as well. The brown pants go well with a green uniform so I also applied that.

2. Next, I learned about the diffuse option in the "stylize" option. Diffuse lets you dark or lighten the object which you are stylizing. The options do different things depending on what you pick. They also kind of texturize the object if you choose to diffuse them so be weary.
What I plan to learn tomorrow:
Tomorrow, I plan to continue creating side characters. The characters I want to create tomorrow are Nermin and Enid Karaman. They are both from Arrow's Story arc so it makes sense putting them together. If I have time, I would like to create the cellist but I might not have time so that's for another day. I also plan to learn something tomorrow and that is how to pixelate in the filters option in Photoshop. It's just something that I plan to learn while I continue my journey in English.
