Photoshop - Start of Twiggy photo

the poster is to go behind the drawing. The Corduroy is to show how real fabric is.
Then we opened up the twiggy1.jpg in Illustrator. We then rasterized the picture and traced it and changed it to colour and changed the colours to 32 maximum.
Then open photoshop, we then changed the resolution in photoshop to 72, and changed the colour to RGB and the width and height.
We then pasted it as pixels into Photoshop. We then turned off the background but still have a white background from illustrator and used the magic wand to delete the background. We then erased her earrings out apart from where they sit in front of her shoulder or neck. Then using the magic wand tool we selected around her. We then use the smudge tool and smudged out what was left of her earrings. To make her smoother we went into Blur and used Gaussian blur. We changed the radius pixels to 1.2. We then used the blur tool at 100 and smoothed at the angles.
We then added a new layer and titled it dress.
use the pen tool above the T,  then do click on a pointed area and curved areas around the dress. Afterwards we select the converge point tool and alternate and press the cmd key to create a curve line around the dress. We then right clicked and made the path a selection.
and used the fill bucket and used a pattern overlay with the paper selection for the dress.
