Feedback on tools used for major project

I have completed all the final pieces for my major project, all that is left for me to do is to upload them on my website

Tools used for my major project

I used basically the same tools in the making of every final piece because they all portrayed the same way.

I first uploaded the image of the drawings on Photoshop then I used the lasso tool to cut out the outline of the drawing of the figures, duplicated them and moved the duplicate to a plain white background. I used the lasso tool to outline parts of the drawings that I wanted to repeat then I duplicated the outlined part, repositioned it and reduced the opacity.

For some of the final pieces I gave them a moving blur effect by selecting the figure, going to the menu bar, selecting filter and clicking on blur. For others I just made (a) duplicate(s) of the figure itself, reduced the opacity and repositioned it to the left or/and right of the main figure to give it a moving blur effect.

After I was done with everything I merged all the layers together to form one picture then edited the image by clicking on 'image' on the menu bar and increasing/decreasing the contrast and brightness then I used the bucket fill tool to change the color of the background from white to black. I believed that a dark background will accentuate the figure more than a white one.
