For the “Draw It” assignment, I used the free web-based image editing site, Photoshop Express. It was one of the only sites on the packing list that had a drawing transformation feature.

As I continue to post Visual Assignments, you will see that I work with a variety of imagine editing sites!

I changed the color scheme to black and white and tried to brighten the white spots so they would stand out better. Then, I used the “sketch” effect and got the following result:

Kinda cool, huh?
