I opened up this picture and then I did copies of it with Shadows and Midtones then merged them together. Before I did that I wanted the midtones to be filled with 50% gray and the shadows to be filled with black. The Control I used to do copying was CTRL+(J). Then I made a new layer put the background white by CTRL+backspace. I added another layer put it white also and used my brushes with different styles and put random text all over it. For this I just put my name for the text. After creating the brushes I went to Windows, Brushes and changed my brush style. Then I went back to my midtones and shadows and ctrl A to select all then I pressed CTRL C to copy it and then went back to my layer with the words on it and put a mask on the layer and selected the second one and the CTRL V so I would have my midtones and shadows on the second one. Finally, what I did was pressed (fx) and went to gradient overlay and I used the green and red gradient and that's all I did to this.
I had to help near the end because it got a little confusing mainly at the layer mask. I kept going back and forth from the steps on the computer to understand it.
I really like the look of my picture. I struggled at this but managed to make it look good. I kept deleting stuff and undoing things. I think it turned out good and I really like the look of the red and green together and how it switches right by my eye and gives it this brownish look so it looks like the color of my eyes.
