Paint, Edit and Heal

I started off by mirroring the image and making the appropriate selections. From there it was basically filling in areas, using various paint brushes with different sizes and nothing but creative fun. I wish I hadn't turned this assignment in a bit late because it really wasn't difficult. Here are the blank mirror image, an initial coloring, some work with a paintbrush inside the lions face and finally, I added some grass using brushes that work like blades of grass. There was also another brush I used in creating the clouds, alternating in size and intensity to give them that fluffy, cloud feel. Overall, I think it looks pretty nice, kind of like a cover of a kids book.
