This is a picture of a city at night. I started out doing my layers ranging from black to different shades of blue. To create the sky I just smudged the shades into eachother. I also used the blurring tool to blend the different colors of the sky into eachother. I made the stars by blurring dots of white and then made the moon by using the smudging tool and adding gray to the white. I like using the smudging tool because it makes things blend instead of making them look like cookie cutter lines. So I usually smudge the edges of everything. When I was working on this I found a lot of new tools. Like someone in the class showed me how to make straight lines by just using the shift key. That new tip helped me create straight lines for the buildings. Then I found out how to clone things so I didn't have to keep making each individual window. So I used the rectangle select tool to select the part I wanted to copy and then copy and pasted it. It made making the windows a lot easier.
