As many of you may know, I suffer with terrible migraines. As a consequence of this I have a lot of downtime and as a result I get bored easily. To try and aliviate the boredom I decided to learn a new skill. I wanted something that I would find hard so at first I attempted to learn the guitar but this ended in disaster as I found that due to my Cerebral Palsy I have no coordination and couldn't play a note.
I wasn't going to let my disability going to get in the way of me doing something so I decided to try and learn photoshop instead. I knew this would be difficult due to my poor eyesight but I needed a decent challenge so I thought that this would present me with the challenge I needed.
As I am useless at drawing I decided that for my first attempts to do anything with the software should be to alter some pictures of friends and see if I could do anything with them. My first 'victims' were my friends James and Charlie who I attempted to make look like Davros. As you can see in the pictures below things didn't work out that well.
At the time I couldn't work out what the problem is, but now I realise that the heads aren't the correct proportions for the body and that Charlie is too cheerful to be Davros.
I realise that there are many other mistakes in the pictures but in these first attempts I was just trying to learn the basic techniques for working with the software.
After this I decided that my next 'victim' would be Bill Elder. Bill used to me a morning DJ in America so the natural thing to do was to get a picture of Ed Sullivan meeting The Beatles and replace Ed's head with Bill's. The result isn't perfect as you can see.
