Year 4 Tayasui Sketches and Cutting into Layers

Today we will be cutting out our text and importing it into a layer in your artwork that you made previously

These are the steps we will be taking:

  1. Open your text image.
  2. Clear the BG layer so that you can see the checkerboard background.
  3. Go into your text layer and merge with your outline.
  4. Use the knife to cut loosely around it
  5. Make sure it copies.
  6. Undo your merge so you can save and protect your artwork.
  7. Find your colour and perspective artwork.
  8. Make a new layer.
  9. Paste from the ··· menu.
  10. Create your text as you want making sure there is BALANCE in your image.
  11. Add custom ‘Chocolate’ Text.
  12. Make new ones and compare them.
