Ups and Downs

All of my errands were unsuccessful today so I came home and made this.  I think I'll print it off on some nice paper and hang it in Lobi's room!

It would've been much faster with Photoshop!  Or anything like Photoshop.  All I have is Picasa (google's free photo editor). 

Here's how I did it if you're interested:

Drew my elephants by hand then scanned them in at a high resolution:

 

 

Then I cropped them to be their own individual drawings and filled them in by hand (like Microsoft Paint)!  Not too high-tech, but I'm happy with the result!

 

 

 

 

 

Finally I merged them in to the above collage, re-sized, repositioned, added text and some dots and there you have it!  I know it's nothing fancy, but I'm proud that it's entirely my own creation.  I didn't steal anything from the internet...not that I've ever done that.  Hope you like it!

 

 

P.S. I like elephants!
