» Drawing an Abstract Lightbulb - Photoshop Tutorial at PSDRockstar.com
Hello again, in this tutorial I want to cover a couple of techniques, namely Glows using layer stylesStroking pathsParticles using brush dynamicsBokeh effect The PSD and full size image can be found at the bottom of this post and we’re going to draw a lightbulb: Create a new document, 1600×1200 and fill the 1st layer in black. Add inner and outer glows to the resulting line to produce a suitable glow effect. Next we’re going to create the particles around the coils. Create a new layer, then with these brush settings, paint around your coils. Use the techniques demonstrated in steps 1 and 2 to draw the edges of the lightbulb in new layers. Now we’re going to add some colour to the interior of the lightbulb. Create a new layer and repeat step 5 again with 3 radial gradients, using a mid green at the top and 2 orange/red gradients at the bottom. Next we’re going to add a bokeh effect. And that’s pretty much it. Final Image Visit PsPrint to get the best deals in online printing services!
Surreal Turtle
Step 1 I rarely sketch out my ideas, because blending sources this way is not very complicated, but it is important to have a feel of what you want to create, as well as the atmosphere, before you actually start working. Like with any image in which sources are being used, selections are the first stage. We want to isolate every source so that we can create our own composition. Below you can see the background sources and the main object, in this case, the turtle. Step 2 When an image is imported into photoshop, it's known as a Background Layer This means that there is no layer below that one. Step 3 The Pen Tool is my preferred tool for extracting an object, because it's a very versatile tool that once mastered can be used to accomplish almost anything. Step 4 Delete the original sky, like shown below, so that the new sky can be imported. Step 5 Once the new sky is in your image, press Ctrl+T and resize the sky to fit over the image. Step 6 Then go to Filter - Blur - Average Step 7

Create striking portraits
Basic composition is very important. Many artists put too much distracting detail in their painting, so in this project we'll focus on how to direct viewers into the image and simplify the background, so it doesn't overwhelm the main theme. Then we'll explore how to create an interesting background to complement the subject. Lastly, we'll define where the light source is coming from, to tie all the elements together. Whether your subject is a landscape, portrait or still life, it needs a central focal point. For this project, I'm using Photoshop to create an image that appeals to me - an image that incorporates something old and something modern; a sort of take on East meets West.
