Banksy elephant, I want change

Banksy recreation
This is my recreation of a banksy piece called, Elephant in a room.
This image was created on photoshop by reducing the opacity of the image and then going around the outside of the elephant image with the magnetic lasso tool, I then filled in the space with the paint bucket tool and then drew in the eye and black line creases of  the trunk and to give the form on an ear, I done this with the paint brush tool. Then I used the custom shape tool to put in the toes, lastly I used the custom shape tool to make the patterns on the elephants body.
This is another re-creation of a banksy piece which is origonally done in stencil form.
I re-created it on photoshop.

 This is the origonal image with the opacity reduced to around 30.
 Then I started to put the background colour in on a blank white canvas with the paint bucket tool.
 I then started to build my wall image by using the paint brush tool although I think it would have worked a lot better if I had used the line tool as it would have gave me much staighter lines.
 I then started to re-create the stencil using the paint brush tool and filled in the space of the board and the cup using the paint bucket tool.
I then put the text in and the white outlines for his skin and the creases of his clothes to give it depth.
