Photoshop Session 1

I've never been that confident when it comes to Photoshop. With the work below i was mainly just testing out different techniques and getting my head around it: 

Here i began by selecting a section of the models face to make it part of the dolls face. It first began too big and then i used a free transform option which allowed me to transform the selected part from big to small. (command shift T)

Below is the same concept but with the lips: 

Here is the final result, it isn't too successful but it helped me to get a grip of the different tools of Photoshop:

Here i decided to try something different and create a 'tow-faced' type effect. I found this quite hard due to the fact that the two subjects are facing in different directions. It was still good to experiment and see what would happen when i did it: 

 I didn't really feel this was succesful so i abandoned it and decided to try something else...

Below i just wanted to experiment with different contrasts, almost like a patchwork of skin tones to see what effect it would create:

The final images: 

Through the different types of experimentation i feel like i have gotten more of a grasp on the different tools of Photoshop.
