Achieving a Vintage Look Through Color Tones in Photoshop CS by Guest Contributor Anna Gay Photographers are often striving for a “vintage” look in their photos, and even though there are endless ways of achieving a vintage look, there are a couple of characteristics to keep in mind.

As you can see here, there should be three layers – your Background image, then your two gradient layers.

Now let’s get started! pencileraserpapera model or mirror I draw the figure from my head most of the time, but I’ve practiced drawing the figure loads of times. First, you want to mark down your reference points. Now that you have the angles down, sketch in all of the joints with lines & circles. Now that the figure is starting to take more shape, connect the circles.
