When starting this SI piece my main goal was to incorporate a longhorn to really show off my question the best I could. I found a picture of the longhorn and used my layer mask tool to go around it. I then used a brush to clean up the edges around the ledge. After I placed a canyon to the background to add more suspense and create a different contrast. I wanted to make my piece more mysterious to add complexity so I then added the gloomy sky. I created another layer mask to mask the canyon the background an used my stamp tool to go around the edges.
