For the background of this image, I used a picture that my friend Tom took (used with permission) of Interlaken, Switzerland, while I blew bubbles. The second picture is a picture that I took of myself for an album art project that I did for English. I tried to position my fingers so it looked as though I was cupping a giant bubble in my hand, with moderate success. The bubbles, as you may have noticed, have a different color than the background from whence they came. I did this by duplicating the background, then deleting everything that wasn’t bubble so I could colorize it separately. Selecting the bubbles was probably the biggest pain while I made this, because bubbles are see-through and can’t really be selected via Quick Select or Magic Wand. I chose the Tropical Waters gradient to make the background a cool blue theme so that the fiery bubbles would look a bit bolder. Overall, this was pretty fun, especially since I got to play around with my own gradient to colorize myself and the bubbles.
